Washington has put BEE and expropriation at the centre of its dispute with South Africa, and new polling by The Common Sense and the Social Research Foundation shows South Africans siding with the American demands by roughly two to one. Warwick Grey walks through the numbers: majorities of all voters, black voters, white voters, ANC voters, and DA voters back exempting US firms from BEE and guaranteeing American investments against expropriation.
