Dis-Chem not allowed to hire anymore white people for now

[BBSA]

The brand is familiar to those who invest on the JSE. They could list on a foreign exchange, but run the risk of being an unknown quantity...

Their are many ways to get funds....

Not even sure they need funds.

I have voted in every election since 1990.

1990 was not a real election, should have boycotted it.

 

[porchrat]

Absolutely not. Noncompliance destroys bureaucratic systems.

Look at Etolls. They were as legal as BEE to pay, yet everyone ignored them. Too many people ignoring them made it impossible for the system to enforce.
Same thing with TV licences. It is the law to pay your TV licence, yet ***somehow*** people don't give a fuk unless you are buying from a shop.
And then we have the taxi industry, which the government has attempted and failed to control many many times.

Imagine if 20% of the largest companies on the JSE decided that they were just going to "lie" about their employee's race. (There isn't any lie because there isn't any legal definiton of race in SA). All those companies then don't have to participate in BEE fronting, so they get better rates for their suppliers. What is the auditor going to do? Demand a blood sample from every employee in a business to prove their "blackness", for a company of 10000s of employees?

Oh I agree with you 100%. I'd be keen to see these companies mass protest the system and just stop complying with this BEE stuff. Just employ the best people for the job and ignore colour entirely.

I would personally do my best to do business with those companies.

That currently doesn't happen though. So I see no point in boycotting one specific company in a sea of compliance.

But do they want to, what's the incentive?

Why do you need BEE/AA in the first place? Because if companies followed organisational efficiency, they wouldn't necessarily have the racial composition that national socialists want. Since BEE/AA is mandatory, they have to sacrifice organisational efficiency to achieve it.

People are still activity boycotting Woolworths and Clicks...right?

Oh wait, that was months ago...my mistake.

What did Woolworths do?

 

[LCBXX]

What did Woolworths do?

The same as Dischem.

 

[Phylax]

Punishing the other employees of Dischem is going to achieve what exactly?
You want change, take up terrorism like the ANC did in the Eighties.... or vote them out.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

This is the the stated and enforced BEE policy for all JSE listed companies. They have no choice in this matter. They face ongoing fines for non compliance. Don't blame the companies for what is an ANC racist policy. You should be waging this war at the ballot box.

DA again? They've been winning the next election since their inception.

 

[TheChamp]

The same as Dischem.

Oh? Maybe the boycott is not strong because it was done in a dignified manner.

People are boycotting the fsck out of racist Woolies:

 

[rietrot]

i still dont get why this is such big news -- its happening in all big corporates its just not publicized.

i work in one where you are not even allowed to interview white candidates the cvs gets filtered out right at application point.

internally you are not allowed to promote or hire whites/Indians, you have to bring in black talent.
and if you are a black female ... chaching!!! $$$$$$$

Because nobody from your work has the balls to even leak a letter. You just accept it as normal.

 

[wingnut771]

The same as Dischem.

When was this?

Forgive me: I'm not risking my income so armchair activists can get their fix.

-8% in 10 years.
Almost R100 a share in 2015.

They are going nowhere as a company

But thanks forgot about them. Will reinitialize the boycott.

Most people won't. Most people are just sheep without principles. It is normal.

Like spur, dischem stores are owner run, most store owners are white
Boycotting dischem stores for whats happening at head office is just as stupid

 

[Howdy]

That's the problem right there, their business is to make money and the right thing they have to do is the right thing according to the laws and regulations.

So what you think is the right thing is probably irrelevant to them. They are businesses not the embodiment of righteousness.

Would those be the laws and regulations that just about saw all the SOEs fail, causing our country to steadily fail with employment at an all time high? Leading by example? Oxymoron spotted! Laws that literally say wealth redistribution, nothing about wealth creation?

Something something .... "until you run out of other people's money". Let's rather blame apartheid, CovID ...

But hey ... maybe this time. @RonSwanson - your cue for the fork and wall socket. We have load shedding, maybe this time ...

 

[rietrot]

I haven't excused it. I've explicitly stated that I don't agree with it. Skin colour should never be a factor in anything.

I simply feel one's ire should be directed at the people setting the racist policy in the first place.

You don't agree with it but you believe businesses should go out of their way to comply and hold each other accountable.

That's like saying you don't agree with etolls but still paying it every month. Empty words which is hard to take seriously.

Then the owners should speak up.
