This is an interesting story about BEE in South Africa.

DEMOCRATIC Republic of Congo opposition leader, Etienne Tshisekedi -- besieged in his Kinshasa home by heavily armed security forces -- swore a makeshift presidential oath on Friday as police battled in the streets outside with his rock-throwing supporters.
