Duma Gqubule’s most recent column refers (“Little chance of a social compact during Ramaphosa’s presidency”, June 24).

What exactly is a social compact supposed to achieve? All areas of SA society have been in steep decline since about 2009, and the best the ANC can come up with is race-based quotas, expropriation without compensation and dictating to investors who must own and manage their investments.

Does anybody think a “national dialogue” is going to change this?
