Abstract
The peaceful transition from apartheid to a democratised society is one of South
Africa’s most impressive achievements. The attainment of these achievements
has placed enormous pressure on the country to “shift to a higher gear”, i.e.
increasing the number of players who contribute to the economic development of
the country, thus building on its’ political success (Thomas, 1996). The ability to
become competitive in the global economy will be determined by the capacity to
increase the pool of suitably qualified people and the willingness to accept, value
and empower the human talent of all South Africans.
