Can blacks be rich ?
Luthando Lukhozi completely misses the point when he
declares, regarding the Mpisane’s conspicuous wealth, that there is nothing
wrong with black people being very rich (Letters, 17/2/13). Nobody is
disputing the right of black people to be rich, What they are disputing is how
they came to be rich. If it is off the back of poor people via misappropriating
state funds, then there is everything wrong with black (or white) people being
rich. And that is what lies behind the accusations against the Mpisane’s.
Nothing more, nothing less. It is the difference between Patrice Motsepe, one
of the richest men in the world, and Shawn and Sbu Mpisane. And it is
there for all to see.
