Nepotism

Nepotism is a situation where jobs or any other benefits in the Private and the Public Sector only benefits the families of those who are already employed in those sectors.  This means that even if a person is not in possession of the requirements of a particular position, such an individual will get the job.  These include qualifications, experience, etc.  What is so saddening is the impact that nepotism has in our economy, industrial development as well as those families that do not have people working in these sectors.  How do we then ensure that nepotism is eradicated at all costs in these sectors?  Do we need a law to deal with it, so that those who are found practising it will have to be dealt with or should we make these conglumarates belong to certain families, meaning we are brewing a certain elite of families to benefit from these companies.  What will be the impact of this in our country?  What will be the attitude of the public towards these sectors?  This will have a negative impact in these sectors as it is already the case when it comes to our National Parliament where one wonders as to who are the people/families entitled to work in Parliament of South Africa.
