Special Report Transcript Episode 74, Section 3, Time 32:33

But what happens beyond words? What is the way forward for our country to repair and address the economic wrongs of the past? One of the most concrete suggestions was that of Stellenbosch Economics Professor, Sampie Terreblanche. He suggested that a wealth tax be levied on all South Africans with assets worth more than two million rand. This tax he says should be levied for the next ten to 20 years, but this proposal met with some fierce resistance in the press this past week. The ‘Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut’ also argued against it at the hearing.
