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

[Pak Fa Fui]

I've show that this is not just a law that they have to follow.
Nobody has ever been given that fine.

Maybe they dont want to be seen as a whites only company
Why would any listed company in S Africa want to portray a whites only company

I have a white takealot driver/delivery person. Fully support them.

When did checkers put out a memo against hiring any white people? Please post that so I can boycott them to if that is the case.

Have a pharmacy near me that's not part of any chain that I will use more.

How do you control which TAL driver is sent to you? Supporting TAL because your delivery guy is white, is as retarded as supporting Dischem because they have a white cashier.

Shoprite is JSE listed, they have to conform to the same laws as Dischem.

Awesome for your local pharmacy, it's fine for medication but ridiculously priced for toiletries...

I wish organizations like Afriforum would rather just stop fighting the government in South Africa on everything. Rather change focus and help white people to flee the country to other countries. This would move me to support Afriforum financially too.

There is no future for white people in South Africa due to black racial hate and constant fighting will not help. Rather help them in ways to get out of here and leave this s**thole to itself.

Not sure why @Mike Hoxbig is going on with this retarded message of "just take it bro, lol"

Hopefully he is affected by direct and obvious racism one day. Seems like this passive racism doesn't phase him.

He is leftist whoosy with ostrich syndrome. Not passive racism this, this is the worst type of explicit racism and entrenched in law just like Apartheid.

This is correct. @rietrot

I'm not saying just take it. I'm saying it's not going to make a difference. Whichever chain store you go to that is listed on the JSE is applying the same laws as Dischem...

The BBC's view,

I see Matabane supports the idea that these plans need to be accelerated within businesses. He supports the Dischem CEO, and is in the view that the CEO took a stance where others in the business are gatekeeping the status quo.

Dischem’s board did seem to agree with the state’s plan in their response to the media.

“Dis-Chem stands by the unequivocal imperative to continue its transformation journey. Equality and diversity are important to Dis-Chem and the group continues to make great strides in ensuring it maintains progress in this area. It is a proudly South African business which promotes inclusivity and representation of all South Africans in their capacity as key stakeholders,” the company said.

I still don't believe that Solidarity will succeed in petitioning Dischem. Taking this high up, the Constitutional Court will lean to Dischem. Boycotting Dischem will also achieve nothing.

As I always said, should you be challenged by these policies, go seek opportunity elsewhere. This is not going to change.

Businesses, with relevancy, agree. Just see the ICASA regulations on ownership.

Then help these okes make a difference instead of telling them why they're dumb for trying. There must be a way.

A good place to start would be to support any business that has the lowest BEE rating, surely.

No one is going anywhere.

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says Dis-Chem’s moratorium on hiring white people is racist and divisive.

‘Racial quotas contributed to our current economic woes’ — Mashaba on Dis-Chem saga

"Racial quotas contributed to our current economic woes. Hire South Africans on merit, and focus on investment in training where you experience weaknesses," said Mashaba.

no no... YOU are not going anyware.

I am.

I think he has said Dischem have not choice if they want to remain in business. If the NHI becomes reality then the likes of Dischem would have to assimilate or be destroyed as procurement rules will definitely look at equity law compliance.

That's not how NHI is proposed to work

The only way is for all listed companies to take a collective stand, which isn't going to happen.

The other way is to vote out the ANC. The DA and most other parties support BEE too FWIW. The problem is not BEE, it's the way it's been implemented in this country...

People should be diverting their anger at the SA Government.

This whole situation is 100% their doing.

I thought the DA dropped that sht.
Good thing I vote VF+.

Why do you lie. The fleeing from this sht hole has gotten so bad that guavamint has been trying to clamp down on it before all the money runs away.
Or do you specifically mean okes on this forum? You'd be surprised how many people you're talking to here that don't live here anymore.

Exactly.

Exactly.

I've added an extra sentence to my comment as an edit.

Yeah - sure.
It's the same argument that communists use to defend communism.
But you know this, right?

 

[Phylax]

It would be very ironic if they started holding hands and standing in solidarity now after all the years of doing business under the apartheid regime and not once taking a stand, it's really not worth the trouble.

What are you actually saying?

Because they did not stand up against racism and discrimination back in Apartheid, they should also not stand up against racism and discrimination today?
