Abstract
South Africa is a country of two nations. One of these nations is white,relatively
prosperous, regardless of gender or geographic dispersal. It has ready access to a
developed economic, physical, educational, communication and other infrastructure.
This enables it to argue that, except for the persistence of gender discrimination
against women, all members of this nation have the possibility to exercise their right
to equal opportunity, the development opportunities to which the Constitution of ‘93
committed our country. The second and larger nation of South Africa is black and
poor, with the worst affected being women in the rural areas, the black rural
population in general,and the disabled. This nation lives under conditions of a
grossly underdeveloped economic, physical, educational, communication and other
infrastructure. It has virtually no possibility to exercise what in reality amounts to a
theoretical right to equal opportunity, with that right being equal within this black
nation only to the extent that it is equally incapable of realisation.”
