The author, Martin Hill, concluded that the clan structure of the majorities continues to exclude minorities (Bantu, certain occupational groups and tiny religious minorities) from significant political participation and employment.

It also denies them their rights to development, education and sustainable livelihoods and prevents and punishes inter-marriage with members of majority groups.
