Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows:
In the workplace during the era of apartheid in South Africa, the government enforced
a stark and discriminatory system of racial segregation. During this time, the South African government faced increasing domestic and international pressure to dismantle apartheid and address the glaring economic and social disparities it had created. In response to this pressure and as a means of addressing the immense inequalities, the Reconstruction and Development Program (RDP) was introduced. The RDP, implemented in the early 1990s, was a comprehensive policy framework designed to tackle the socio-economic challenges faced by South Africans, particularly the previously disadvantaged populations. It aimed to address the historical imbalances
by focusing on issues such as housing, education, healthcare, job creation, and
infrastructure development. The introduction of the RDP in the workplace was a critical step toward dismantling apartheid and creating a more inclusive society. While the program faced various challenges and its impact was not immediate, it laid the foundation for economic and social transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. The RDP set in motion a process that aimed to redress historical injustices, bridge the racial divide, and promote sustainable development for all South Africans.
