According to News24 the debate between race nationalists and classical liberals is ‘utterly irrelevant’, at least when it comes to understanding the DA’s growth. He praised the DA for working quietly in the backroom, but said debates about BEE are ‘utterly irrelevant’. When exactly did classical liberal positions against BEE radically transform from fit to print into ‘utterly irrelevant’ at News24? But instead of argument or admission News24 followed up its claim that anti-BEE debate is utterly irrelevant by shutting down the conversation. PoliticsI don’t think talking about this within and across like-minded groups is ‘utterly irrelevant’, but I do think voters are bitterly under-informed.
