Phumlani Majozi criticizes claims of racial divisions in capital ownership
@PhumlaniMMajozi: Majozi on racial capital claims
Phumlani Majozi, a prominent social commentator, has strongly criticised the notion of racially divided capital markets in South Africa, describing it as ''divisive and counterproductive political talk''.
Majozi's comments come in response to ongoing discussions about the perceived racial dynamics within South Africa's economic landscape. He emphasises that ''capital has no skin colour'' and attributes such rhetoric to ''economically illiterate'' political discourse.
Economists generally agree that capital transcends racial lines, focusing instead on factors such as market dynamics and investor confidence. Economic analyst Errol Nduku notes, ''The focus on racial divides detracts from more pertinent economic issues such as unemployment and growth.''
Majozi's remarks have sparked debate within social and political circles, highlighting the complexities surrounding race and economic policy in South Africa.

His recent commentary also aligns with discussions surrounding South Africa's impending removal from the FATF grey list, underscoring the importance of stability and investor confidence in overcoming political and racial divisions within the market.
