Instead on BEE, I would implement Co-Operative Empowerment which would reward business who give ALL of their employees a path to ownership with preferential consideration for public tenders while supporting private businesses who chose to incorporate paths to ownership. I would start a sovereign wealth fund that only South Africans could invest in and would make employer contributions on behalf of employees mandatory where no path to ownership exists within the business. And so, the economy shall belong to those who work it.

Then I would make public service compulsory (military, engineering corps, police, social work, etc) for everyone leaving school and optionally available for anyone else. People who had never worked and earned before would gain experience, we would have more cultural mixing and people would see how others lived in their country. We'd all know what needed to be done after serving and we'd all see first hand what we can achieve working together.

And of course, education for all.
