... edukashion peeps ... don't be lazy .. go for the difficult ones ... maths, science, biology ...

This article seems to hint at a problem in the education system, but it's still the induhvidual's choice, just like it's always been.

Yep, individual's choice (with heavy input from the parents.)

some people prefer to live for weekend partying and hobbies such as souping-up their cars instead of actually having any ambition or goals in life. To them a job is just a job, something done grudgingly to enable them to live i.e. get drunk on the weekend and buy blue lights/turbos/speakers for the Golf.

/me decides to go and buy some tweeters for me Golf - @ R 4300 each !

[kaspaas]

I want the job, not the work...

As long as the image of personnel managers, accountants and the like are made to look more glamorous than those of technical people, this tendency will continue.

Part of the solution is quite simple: Fire half of all bean counters! :-)

And the people who didn't do as well as the 'whites' are the ones who get forced into the job in the name of BEE.

We will never see 6% if Government doesnt realise that someone should be employed based on their skills and not their skin colour.

I imagine alcohol poisoning and a damaged liver are also some form of bonus, or the fact that mature people think you're an idiot because you look like one and your car looks stupid too.

this is what it's coming to?

My fathers "swar" works for a technical desgning company been manager for sometime and suddenly this new ratial color thing came in a black women took over his job gets 3 time more pay then he does and dives a v10 tourag volkswagen

she doesn't even have enough skills to to design a normal table with blueprints to giva an e.g then he gets to lower rank and knows more than she will ever know

even if you drive in the sunny side area you see them driving expensive cars like amg mercs top volvo audio a8 all wheel driving... etc

I oneced drove on the sement highway past the shacks and small brick houses guess what I saw the standing next to it a 7 series Black BMW I mean wtf really.....

Double blow for white skills

This article should serve as a warning that AA and BEE should have sunset clauses.

"... it is most likely that the decline represents young professionals emigrating to other countries."

White population figures showed that there were more whites in the 60-69 age group in 2005 than in the 25-34 age group. The majority of skilled white professionals were in the 40-64 age group and would reach retirement age in the next two decades.

This is what I've said would happen if people, who had little or no part in apartheid, continue to be discriminated against i.e. they will just leave for greener pastures leaving SA much poorer.
