Why? Seems perfectly on brand. They really think that is some sort of own when it just exposes them.

Not suggesting the sentiment isnt genuine, I just dont think anyone would be stupid enough to out themselves under their own name.

why should it - why should any privately funded entity be tasked with "advancing non-racialism" ?

do you not think it to be a bit of a stretch to expect a privately funded entity to be tasked with advancing non-racialism - when our statutes are littered with race based laws.

we have private schools that are religion based - catholic, muslim, jewish . . should they be tasked with the same duty, or perhaps something different - like advancing agnosticism ?

advancing non-racialism is way past it's "best before date".
by now society should have, and mostly has - adapted to and adopted, the cultural and social changes in our country.

Don't cry when someone notices what the expected outcome would be and then complain about her making these statements. Language is racial in SA. A all Zulu University will have a 100% only black student body. None of these ideas advance non racialism so I understand her critique.

If we are going to start building only X Universities or only X e hailing services we are going back down the road of creating something that looks like the apartheid system. I think that is what she is getting at and I partly agree with her.

Afrikaans is the third most spoken language in the country so whats the issue ? Its a privately funded business. I think you forget that tertiary education is NOT A RIGHT.

FYI approximately 10 to 11 % of the population speak afrikaans at home as a first language while only 7 to 8 % speak english.


ALSO a full isiZulu university would be a wonderful idea too bad your ANC cadres are so F**king incompetent they couldnt create anything for their people. They only know how to steal and rename sh*t

What do you mean - they have spent years trying to convince everyone it is, and if someone thinks you should pay for it, then burn the place down.

The Ingonyama trust could probably build one tomorrow if they wanted to, but clearly they dont see the need, or they know that if they did, the racists in the union buildings would lose their minds about this as well.

What's really funny is you grabbed what you heard from a retired nurse and took it as verbatim because it suited your narrative.
Now imagine if that were true - incentivizing providing care to blacks and coloureds over whites... doesn't that strike you as being counter-revolutionary in apartheid terms?

Actually thats true. Its not getting paid extra for helping black and coloured patients as those patients werent allowed in the white only hospitals. White medical staff got danger pay for working in non white hospitals.

Non-white doctors got paid something like R200 per month where as their white counter parts who got danger pay got something like R1500 per month.
