Article: Western Cape purging itself from blacks: ANC

[czc]

Coloureds and Chinese are black.

So if her entire staff were coloured and Chinese that should be just fine.

Really, because on the UNISA registration my race group is listed as White/Chinese.

Then your registration is wrong.

Chinese are classified black.

 

[TheHiveMind]

Looks like the whites and blacks have been making coloureds.

How so? Coloureds and whites decreased and blacks increased. The stats were merely provided in reverse chronological order in that post.

According to wiki (census 2011):

Population groups:
• Coloured - 48.8%
• Black African - 32.8%
• White - 15.7%
• Indian or Asian - 1.0%

According to census 2001:

• Coloured - 53.9%
• Black African - 26.7%
• White - 18.4%
• Indian or Asian - 1.0%

Ah yes, the usual MyBB assumption of if you're black you must be corrupt.

Have we been reading the same thread?... I didn't see that.

The stats wont lie, and judging by the MEC posts, I expect whites and coloreds to be well represented and very little else at senior and management level...

Don't coloured people count as black under the BEE system?

 

[atomcrusher]

I have no problem with being represented by a black person or an Indian person or a white person or a Chinese person or whatever. All I care about is that they do their job well. If they represent me properly by addressing my needs and sorting out the problems government is supposed to sort out in an effective manner then frankly who gives a schit about skin colour.

Agreed .. but Utopia will be impossible to achieve

 

[zizebra]

So where do albinos fit. They want a piece the cake too.

 

[biometrics]

Then your registration is wrong.

Chinese are classified black.

And Japanese? There was some weird classification in the past that was changed post 94.

Yeah, I had a vague idea about the population statistics.

I was wondering about how it compares to the government employment stats in that province, namely [-]does[/-] did the ANC hire on a national or provincial basis...

 

[SmartKit]

Ah yes, the usual MyBB assumption of if you're [-]black[/-] ANC you must be corrupt.

Fixed. Since the ANC only employs blacks, it stands to reason

The Japanese don't give kickbacks so they are just Japanese.

Ah yes, the usual MyBB assumption of if you're black you must be corrupt.

If you are ANC, you are corrupt. If you vote for the ANC, you are corrupt. If you like the ANC on Facebook, you are corrupt. If you have good things to say about the ANC, you are corrupt. If you think that purging the ANC from government is racist, you are corrupt to the core.

It is past time that the ANC is purged from all government positions.

Give South Africa a chance, purge the excrement called the ANC from the system; flush them until the last log is no longer visible.

The ANC has already destroyed South Africa. We are now coasting on momentum and that is running out. The only hope is rebirth, a new South Africa built on a vision that ignores race. A vision that creates hope instead of drowning it in emotional politics.

It requires that the majority of South Africa make a choice to start again and let go of the past. A choice for civilised values. A choice for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A choice for empathy, compassion and respect. A choice for meritocracy. A choice for hope.

It will never happen but a person can dream.

 

[daveza]

Perhaps Lyn Brown should tell us how many whites are in the Anc govt.

 

[biometrics]

The Japanese don't give kickbacks so they are just Japanese.

I remember now ...

In a landmark decision, the Pretoria High Court has ruled that South Africans of Chinese descent qualify for the full benefits of the country's employment equity and black economic empowerment (BEE) laws.

So Chinese are black.

"The point is, all of us make up the Western Cape and we must be reflected within the leadership of the running of our lives."
This is something I don't think I will ever understand.

I have no problem with being represented by a black person or an Indian person or a white person or a Chinese person or whatever. All I care about is that they do their job well. If they represent me properly by addressing my needs and sorting out the problems government is supposed to sort out in an effective manner then frankly who gives a schit about skin colour.

Awe, mybru!

Some people seem to give a schite. They would rather have bad service delivery than a competent organisation in charge...

 

[saksakgp]

I prefer to be represented by people who look like me and who I can relate to/with. If I had to choose between two people who are equal in everything except race, I would choose the black person.

That's what I thought as well.

So basically what you are saying is that you are racist.

If understood to mean preference for black people over white people then yes.

 

[Kornhub]
