CAMPAIGN 01 B-BBEE: WHO BENEFITS? Poor South Africans—or the already better off?

JusticeSA campaign

Who Really Benefits from B-BBEE?

JusticeSA asks Government to show whether B-BBEE is lifting disadvantaged South Africans—or whether benefits are mainly reaching people who are already better off—and why race should still outweigh present-day disadvantage.

Why this campaign exists

South Africa’s race-based empowerment policies are intended to redress past disadvantage, but they generally use race as the qualifying measure rather than a person’s present-day wealth or need. JusticeSA created this campaign to ask Government to show the evidence that these rules still direct benefits to people who are genuinely disadvantaged today, and to explain why a poor person should be treated differently from a wealthier person because of race.

CAMPAIGN 02 BIOMETRICS: LOCKED OUT? If the machine cannot recognise you, there must be another secure way.

JusticeSA campaign

Locked Out When Biometrics Fail?

Fingerprint and facial recognition can fail for some people, including older people. JusticeSA wants every essential service to offer an equally secure non-biometric way to prove who you are.

Why this campaign exists

More essential services are using fingerprints or facial recognition to prove identity. Some people cannot reliably pass these checks even when they are the legitimate account holder or citizen. JusticeSA created this campaign to demand an equally secure, practical non-biometric route so that failure of a machine to recognise someone does not become a barrier to essential services.
