💨 Abstract

Gary Player, a celebrated golfer, faced criticism for opposing South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) and Expropriation Bill, calling for their removal. Critics, including EFF leader Julius Malema and ANC’s Carl Niehaus, accused him of hypocrisy, citing his past ties to the apartheid regime, which they claim enriched him. Niehaus argued that BEE is modest redress for historical injustices, while Player’s wealth stemmed from apartheid-era privileges.
