"We emerged bleary-eyed about eight hours later to dispatch the final version to the Committee," he says. Incredible what a contribution cloud storage has made lol.

I'm not saying that that transformation isn't a good thing. I'm just saying that's about transforming the education elite, not about systemic equity.

I think it's politically convenient for the whole middle class to see the transformation of former Model C schools as being about systemic equity. It allows us to ignore the fundamental ways in which inequality is built into the system and the fact that there is no clear way out of it.

I'm really not sure about this interpretation of BELA. It seeks to address a particular injustice in elite education in SA, which is a good thing, but I'm not sure it is fundamentally about equity across the system.
