How tf are you getting that I think BEE is good from my comments lol

I'm saying that BEE is big enough of an incentive that companies are forced to do it.
Incentives are positive. Companies doing well is a good thing. Yu just have no idea what you are even talking about.

This CEO is scared of having to pay a fine. There's no incentives involved for BEE There's punishment if you don't comply.

Because we have people who think it's impossible to appoint a competent black person, so they need a little persuasion.
Nonsense. The problem here is not the appointment of any competent black person.

The problem is the complete exclusion of all white people. If there was enough competent black people available this policy would not have been necessary.

Probably some people who wants to watch the world burn...
I'll bet all the Karens and Facebook moms going to share the crap out of this letter on Facebook and WhatsApp, if they did not do it already...
Karens demanding the manager(s), and facebook moms badmouthing Dischem, and urges the others to not buy at Dischem...
This really didn't age well :ROFL: :ROFL: :coffee:

So tell me how Dischem ended up in this situation when there is a complete exclusion of white people?

Holy fck we're having a semantic argument.
We agree, ffs
No I absolutely do not agree with you that this CEO is an innocent little angel just following the law or that just following the law can be used as an excuse, or that even BEE is good for any company.

Because white people are still a majority in senior / management positions, are still a majority in company ownership, are still a majority in private land ownership, etc... despite being a tiny minority population group. Why is this?
White people in companies created by white people. Black people can start their own companies too. Black people should start creating wealth out of nothing the same way white people do it. If you want to make everything about black and white then you need policies that just give things to people that didn’t earn it which ends up with a easy come easy go situation.

Just have a look at the number of companies listed on the JSE 30 years ago compared to now.

This could also be a reason for BEE to exist, a listed company for 6 years and they are not BEE compliant

What if they are hiring white people and purposefully excluding black people and its not about skills and competency

So why don't you give your house and money away and start over again if it's so easy? :p

What if the Easter Bunny was real?

It's in the business best interest to hire the best people. There's no skilled black people sitting at home unemployed.

Because they know how to work with money and run a business?

I don't have a house or money. This is the fallacy that blacks believe all whites have trust funds.

And there are plenty of "blacks" without houses or money either, they're not becoming millionaires from BEE :p
