South African Sports and Recreation Minister Fikile Mbalula is set to brief media in Johannesburg on the issue of transformation around sport in South Africa.

However many would agree that all sectors need to be addressed, especially job creation.

The number of employed black people has doubled since 1994. There are almost three times more black, coloured and Indian business owners than there are white business owners. Black people who own cars have doubled over the past eight years alone. 5.8 million Black households own their own property, although this does include the provision of RDP housing from the state in some cases.

But the picture looks substantially less rosy when outcomes for black South Africans and white South Africans are directly compared. One of the reasons why there is still a gap between white per capita income and black per capita income because of the percentage of black people who aren’t working or have given up looking for work which sits, at its most expanded estimate, at 42%.

So the statistics may look staggering to some but when the race card is played all the time? Are we actually moving forward…?
