Patrice Motsepe, the new generation South African capitalist, is on the cover of Forbes’ ‘Richest People’ issue (he’s worth $2,4 billion; the richest man is the American investment guru Warren Buffett at $62 billion).Full story here.
* BTW, the quote referenced in the my title is from a statement by Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, currently South Africa’s Deputy President. She made this statement when she was still Minister of Mineral and Energy Affairs. She was responding to criticism about the government’s ‘Black Economic Empowerment’ policy aimed at creating a black middle class, but which has instead contributed to growing class disparities among blacks.
Maybe he gives bursaries.
man some black south africans are really dumb. They dont use the resources given to them, give them BEE and they run around town beating up foreign BLACK people.. What?
I read about it in the paper and why cant they be like patrice, I bet he doesnt mind foreigners thats why hes so high up. Heck hes even making a partnership with 50 cent and 50 cent isnt south african lol!
If you look down on people then you will never see whats above. And its true as you can see.
Know you facts before you start ratting about matters that you’re clueless about.
Are you aware that some of the people who were assaulted during that period were South Africans.There are a lot of underlying issues that were perhaps left out by your newspapers.
As a matter of fact stop praising Motsepe,you nothing about the cat to be lecturing South Africans on his success story.
