How Race-Based Policies Are Harming South Africa: Ernst Roets
American Thought Leaders - A podcast by The Epoch Times
“South Africa moved from one race-based system to another race-based system. ... We need to move away from race-based systems,” argues Ernst Roets. He’s the Founder and Executive Director of Lex Libertas, an organization that advocates for constitutional reform and more decentralized governance in South Africa.While many have highlighted the killings of farmers in recent years, this violence is emblematic of broader problems in South Africa, he says.South Africa’s murder rate is among the highest in the world—more than seven times higher than the global average. And race-based policies and distribution of wealth are having a serious deleterious effect, Roets says.In this episode, he breaks down why he believes South Africa’s current political system is fundamentally not sustainable, and how anti-Western influences, including the Chinese Communist Party, are influencing the direction of South Africa.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
