A white-owned real estate company is growing big all over South Africa, with the help of a corrupt PPRA. And you call that transformation? How do you transform the industry when you take back people to still work for a white man? It is a lie that there were no black-owned companies that could be part of this.
The current PPRA leadership was not there when we started talking about transformation. We, the people who were there before 2008 and pushed for transformation, are now pushed outside the very transformation we brought. The PPRA went to look for new leadership, new people to join white companies. These people joining white companies now know nothing about the politics of this industry.
How do you transform a white-dominated industry by taking black people to join a white company? Two weeks ago, I received a call from a Remax company asking or offering me to join them, though they know and see that I have my own company. In 2015, it was the same Rawson who contacted me, asking me to join them. Just Property also tried to recruit me.
The members of Parliament are sleeping and cannot see this. Even they do not support transformation in real estate, because all of them, as black people, buy their properties from white people, not using us as black property practitioners. Those who make the laws and the PPRA are not pushing for transformation in this country. This nonsense of the PPRA and Rawson must stop.
The government must push for awareness among all citizens of South Africa to support us as black companies when buying and selling. Most white people here in South Africa do not give business to black estate agencies and agents unless they are working under the so-called big white companies. We, who were there at the beginning calling for transformation, are not supported by anything from the PPRA and the government.
We know very well that the PPRA went to recruit new people to join Rawson, and some members from the PPRA are benefiting from this Rawson arrangement. The government needs to investigate the relationship between this white-owned company and the PPRA leadership. We know very well that the biggest white real estate organization in South Africa is controlling and influencing the decisions taken by the PPRA.
