Affirmative Action here forever

[Syndyre]

"Contrary to Parliamentary calls by opposition Democratic Alliance (DA), affirmative action and current employment equity legislation would never be repealed but would be intensified instead," Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlane said.

Can't say I'm surprised, as pathetic as it is.

How many members have been overlooked due to AA?

That's good, if a minister says "never" and "forever" it's in fact much better than "soon" and "imminently". I believe "forever" will occur before "imminently" ..right?

 

[marine1]

I have.

I think what the government is saying is that the currently advantaged will never be able to compete with the previously advantaged.

Let's see here. If affirmative action is here forever it will means that the lawmakers believes in appointing people according to race and not skills.

Let me tell you something. People are a lot like fairly 'immiscible' liquids. Cultures varying in that characteristics to a certain degree. English people may blend better with Afrikaners than Black people may blend with Chinese, for instance. Now when you just leave everyone to live there normal lives, people (like liquids) seperate into their respective 'pure' cultures. But varying degrees of cultures stay behind 'mixing' with other cultures. It means that you more likely to see three small companies, one Indians, one Afrikaners and one Black than one company having an Indian, Afrikaner and Black boss.

Now the government is constantly shaking us to make us mix more. But when they see that it doesn't always work, because we just settle apart again they start to try to boil us. That is because gases mix much more readily than liquids.

Now the government can try to support Black companies much more to start building their own enterprises, but it's much easier to just leech permanently. Going against nature.

If you aren't a dual national, I would suggest you start looking now ... age is a factor in your ability to get into most countries (unless of course you're Bill Gates in disguise )

It may just seem like forever to The Minister?
More like a Story Book Tale where the characters live happily ever after in one big Castle, but each to his/her own room.

The use of the word "Equity" in the statement is the weirdest thing.

I have been working out of the country since 97 because of AA

 

[nivek]

Equity is the right word, the ranks are still not equal.

 

[nivek]

I think JK8 wants a white free SOuth Africa dont worry the rate things are going you will get your wish

 

[nivek]

oh but bad news for you, once the jobs have been removed from the evil whities, that'll only be 4 million jobs??? Where we going to get another 4 million? Ah yes, the indian population

unfortunately the ANC dont know the meaning of 'job creation'

 

[telkomsuig]

There are inequalities in most countries of the world. For example the wealth and control the Jewish minority has in America or the Pakistani community has over the Taxi industry in New York... forced redistribution only results in the weak being empowered to the detriment of the country as whole. The size of the black population would have taken care of the redistribution of wealth naturally when the apartheid laws were repealed ... there just aren't enough white people to sustain the economy.
