Session Title:
Managing Business at the BOP

Date of talk or publication:
2005

Speaker Name / Title:
Frederick Ahwireng-Obeng & Mthuli Ncube

Organization:
Wits Business School

Description:
South Africa is a bizarre case of socially engineered, inter-generationally transmitted and large-scale chronic poverty. The poverty landscape is uneven by racial distribution, the black population bearing the brunt of worsening inequality within and between the various population (race) groups. The historical antecedents to this situation include deliberate stripping of the black population of basic livelihood (entrepreneurial) assets—financial, human, natural, social, political, and cultural—and their exclusion from mainstream economic activity. Even though these entitlements have been restored since the country achieved political independence in 1994, the majority of blacks still lack the opportunity to empower themselves with the capability and security that should enable them to escape poverty. The South African government is determined to transform society by redressing inequality and alleviating poverty largely through fiscal transfers and basic service provision. But its efforts are paralyzed by resource constraints and poor service delivery. Meanwhile, the white-dominated, well-developed, growing private sector is seeking to expand its domestic market in the face of increasing global competition.
