Two queries: how muxh of the government budget is a redistribution of
spending away from programs from which the white minority has benefited and
towards those satisfying needs of the majority? and how much of the ANC
public works plan is to be uundertaken off budget, for example with
publically guaranteed infrastructure development bonds and house mortgages?
