The FW de Klerk Foundation’s Ismail Joosub writes that “SA has always been a country of bold experiments” (“Transformation must expand opportunity, not limit it”, May 7). Experiments gone wrong, judging by the state of our country. It’s a disgrace and only supports Afropessimism.

The meaning of transformation has been turned on its head. It’s a euphemism for disposing of white and minority capabilities and replacing them with black incapacity and destruction of a country.

Meanwhile the world has to pretend all is in order. It is madness.
