...across South Africa. When complete, the scheme would crowd all of the blacks, who make up more than 80% of the South African population, onto a mere 15% of the land. The rest of the country, including most of its mineral wealth and all of its industrial regions, would remain in the hands of 4.5 million whites...

...performance gap between younger black children and the national average-from 15 to only ten percentage points behind for nine-year-olds, and from 21% to 18% for 13-year-olds. Gains were reported for students in economically depressed areas. But 17-year-olds-both black and poor-remain as far behind as they were five years ago.
