DA questions inequality report

[semiautomatix]

Cape Town - A government report stating inequality within South Africa's black population group dropped over the past decade is at odds with an international finding it is increasing, says the Democratic Alliance.

In this regard, a paper published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) stood in "stark contrast" to the presidency's 2009 Development Indicators report, DA parliamentary leader Athol Trollip said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The DA will therefore be writing to the Minister in the Presidency of National Planning, Trevor Manuel, requesting an official explanation for this disparity," he said.

According to the 2009 Development Indicators report, "inequality within the African population has declined since 2000".

Fancy that. The ANC has lied to their supporters and manipulated their findings... again. This on the day of the 20 years since the ANC was unbanned.

It appears that freedom and equality are merely words in the dictionary, for many.

Their supporters must be very proud - these are the people you are electing into power.
