This is clearly an article written by a white person, who would dramatise this scenario and talk about an "exodus of the skilled"... why is it that the whites are the skilled engineers, artisans and suppliers... surely according to you the blacks are not qualified, if they are then it's cadre deployment. Were not all the skilled white people also cadre deployed by the white apartheid government? This article is really sickening and just shows how white people are just not willing to be equal citizens with the rest of us. They want privileges in order to be "retained". Unfortunately, as Africans we don't have the luxury of mobility to Europe like our fellow white citizens, so in the workplace, we have to put up with whatever is dealt with us, because we can't just "go". Black staff must always hear budget cuts and all kinds of nonsense when working with white people, and now we must cry that they are leaving. Let them go! We will train ourselves if need be

White people being racist, like you are being here, is why EE is justified. You've basically just used a lot of words to say "black people are lazy" is why the economy is plunging.

Yes, now you'll say previously disadvanted doesn't mean black people and not having a sense of urgency and being slow doesn't mean lazy but you won't clarify what you do mean. Using different words to try hide the racism doesn't work unfortunately...

No, it is not racism. People did not have a chance at decent education and furthermore culture and level of development are not genetic. There are no genetic based impediments preventing any race to excel.

Still we did not have loadshedding prior to 2008. What changed ?

People who are underqualified and incompetent have been placed in positions where their inability affects the economy and entire country with the repercussion of further downgrading the quality of life of the majority of citizens and soaring unemployment.

BEE is supposed to uplift people, but in reality (in the case of Eskom at least) it destroys the livelihood of orders of magnitude more people, the majority of whom are previously disadvantaged or, as your racial mind insists, black.

The wording is roughly from the original post by Nemar.

Tell that to the white people who are not allowed (in fact they are blocked) to study medicine.
Please explain to me how that uplifts society and makes it more equal.

The only thing worse than a pay walled article is a pay walled article in Afrikaans.

Are you saying that you love reading articles written in Afrikaans and it mortally wounds you to have to pay to read Afrikaans articles, or maybe you meant something else?

If that's what it takes, of course yes. You make the claim, you provide the proof. This is a tech forum, so we will accept suitably hashed personal identifiers (SHA-256 or better) for anonimity, whilst retaining integrity.

There are galaxies beyond the observable universe which you and I will never see proof of, yet we understand why. If you have been living in the country for the past 15 or so years, you'd understand the magnitude of corruption at Eskom thus, 6 figure salaries reducing to 5 figures isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

In other words, if one was able to make excessive claims for stuff without proof being required and now the taps have been throttled, one's salary is going to be affected adversely.

But don't take my word for it.
