JOHANNESBURG – The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) has released a statement saying affirmative action kills babies. In the statement, it says race-based policies are being used as a veil to conceal corruption and incompetence and many vulnerable communities are paying a deadly price for this. It cites the deaths of three babies in the Bloemhof Municipality blamed on contaminated drinking water as an example. “The Bloemhof municipality ‘lost its capacity’ to maintain the sewer plant,” the institute says. “People drank contaminated tap water and three babies died while scores were hospitalised. “There is no doubt that the officials responsible for these deaths were appointed, at least in part, on grounds of race-based affirmative action and that a direct causal link therefore exists between the policy and the deaths.” ewn.co.za/2014/06/06/Affirmative-action-kills-babies?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
