The year 2024 marks exactly 30 years since the first inclusive elections in South Africa. As observed in the Founding Manifesto of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the political inclusion in South Africa has hardly translated into observable economic benefits for the majority of the people who were oppressed and exploited under colonialism-cum-apartheid.

Black people remain landless, they remain on the margins of economic production and outside of life-enhancing economic participation. The majority of those that participate in the economy do so as suppliers of cheap and easily disposable labour. Landlessness and joblessness among black South Africans are at crisis levels, posing the biggest challenges that confront South African society today.
