Checkers apologises for Springboks 'Quota Squad' cake

[RonSwanson]

Checkers has distanced itself from a message included on a Springboks cake, that was put on the shelf of one of its stores, ahead of the game against New Zealand this weekend

Edit: Link to article.

I don't see a problem? It is factually correct, and a bit funny.

Herschel Jantjies is definitely not there on merit.

They are only a quota squad if there are quotas.

Social media has turned the world into a bunch of whiny babies. Or have we all been babies all along and social media just gave us a voice?

I am more worried about fesh food displayed in the open in a public space. People touch and sneeze on the food.... Sies man.

Still a qouta. Even if he is the best player.

Is the message incorrect?

Is the message incorrect?

Not in my opinion.

It'll be the same people that think Kagiso Rabada is a quota instead of the 4th best ODI bowler in the world.

Usually casual fans that see a person of colour playing for the Boks and its all ''Useless quota Boks. Fvck the ANC why are there no whites in Bafana Bafana'''.

Lets be honest though, only if the person responsible is a certain race. I dont see them firing another certain race for this.

Shoprite, Checkers & Usave - The black preference employment company in the Western Cape, despite coloured people being the majority in the province.

Leftists:
We want every facet of life to be ethnically perfect to the country's demographics. We will use force to achieve it if need be.

Checkers:
So you want quotas?

Leftists:

Not to mention the people who sneeze and cough over it

Which is why the concept of quotas is simply racist and unnecessary. Only the racial nationalists actually care about what the melanin count of the people playing the game is.

Do you live in Cape Town?

There's no way the person would lose their job - This is Cape Town after all.

There are plenty of articles about quota in Rugby. Perhaps the baker just grabbed one of the many images on Google. Quota or transformation - doesn't matter what it is called. If we want a sports team to win - they need to employ the best players (and colour/race should have nothing to do with it).
