Exactly, accountability and strong checks and balances, but rvZA just cannot bring himself to say that, everything that's wrong in SA is because of AA.

In the private sector stealing from your employer is cause for immediate dismissal. If they catch you are gone. Also there are sectors which are not big BEE targets. Tech for instance is open to all races. If a company wants someone to fix the computers they know 80% of the time that job is going to be done by a white dude. That is not to say a black guy with a A+ and N+ cannot earn nutty money.

Does the company want to hold out for three years and have all the receptionist format there own Pcs or are they going to find other places to score BEE points and maar employ a honkey . There choice.

But yes you as a white person are not going to get a job manning tills, flipping burgers or putting stock on shelves.

Not sure I can stomach the increased prices with my monthly medicine bill from smaller pharmacies.
Pharmacies don't make money on medicine, margins are so low, it's all on sales of the other crap in-store ala Dischem/Clicks.

I'm sticking to a company called Synergy pharmacies in Cape Town. Have a couple branches, big enough to have decent-ish cost-savings, small enough not to be a public big black bum policy employer.

Another to avoid: Clicks. They are RUTHLESS to their employees. They don't pay their staff and SENIOR QUALIFIED pharmacists if there's load-shedding, they notify them in the morning and tell them to stay home, not sure how that's even legal. Heard this first-hand so not broken telephone. Managers are paid under 10k a month. They deliberately keep pharmacy staff low for profits (only one senior pharmacist for a shift for e.g.), I had a 90 minute wait once (not kidding, 90 minutes) at a smaller branch. During load-shedding, Clicks is so tight-arsed, not one of their stores outside a large mall has power during load-shedding, "CLOSED DURING LOADSHEDDING".

I would venture to say that Spur probably doesn't want that type of Clientele anyway, and is better off without them.
They're actually doing just fine now that they're staying away for good.
It wasn't a very good target market anyway.

A Taste for Strife: How a right-wing boycott has lost Spur millions and counting

In March, a video showing a white man confronting a black woman at a Spur steakhouse in Johannesburg went viral on social media. Spur swiftly moved to ban the man in question from its restaurants countrywide – much to the outrage of the Afrikaans right wing. That wing has responded with a...

Afrikaners still have buying power: Spur apologizes - South Africa Today

Afrikaners still have the purchasing power that is essential for businesses to continue, even though they are seeking political correctness for the lesser purchasing power of other groups. It is evident from the rebellion that currently exists within the Spur restaurant group. About half of...

I cannot help you if you can't help me. I simply don't understand what you are saying, it's either you rephrase the question or continue losing respect for me, I am honestly not bothered.

Of course you are bothered. That's why you replied. And you did understand what I was saying. That's why I lost respect for you.

His name sounds white. Maybe he should resign and give 51% of shares to black people. That will sort out his bee compliance there and then.

I'm sure that if we support Putin hard enough, he'll ask Ramaphosa to stop BEE. And it will be unicorns and ponies around here.

If anyone did that to me, I would murmur something about ebola and herpes, and then walk close to them on my way out...

I used to work at a pharmacy as a teen.

The gossip goes round anyway. No point in shying away from it. At least no queue.

1. Locums, i.e. part-time employees that are called in when necessary.
2. Only one qualified pharmacist per shift - the rest are Pharmacist's Assistants
