I accept as do Cameron, Froneman JJ and Majiedt AJ in their judgment in Barnard, supra, that these issues raise transformative tensions between the equality entitlement of an individual and the equality of society as a whole and further the competing claims of members of a designated group, albeit with somewhat different histories. All too often, we search for reconciliation instead of understanding that in a country as rich in diversity and as complex in history as is ours, we may have to live with contradiction.
