Gee witte kans – hof
Maryna Louw

Die Tshwane-metro het gister die soveelste amptelike instelling geword wat in die arbeidshof slae gekry het oor die manier waarop wit mense verkeerdelik uitgesluit word in die toepassing van regstellende aksie.

Die Johannesburgse arbeidshof het gister ’n bevel uitgereik wat die Tshwane-metro dwing om ’n werknemer met 12 jaar diens ’n regverdige kans te gee vir bevordering nadat hy glo van die kortlys geskrap is weens regstellende aksie.

Beeld het dokumente in sy besit wat wys hoe die name van mnr. Marco de Sampaio, ’n ingenieurstegnoloog, en nog twee wit aansoekers van die kortlys vir die pos van adjunkdirekteur vir stelselontwikkeling in die metro se departement van water en sanitasie geskrap is.

“Herskryf kortlys. Neem billikheidsreg in ag,” is ter verduideliking langs die name geskryf wat doodgetrek is.

Die swart aansoeker wat oorgebly het op die kortlys is nie aangestel nie en die pos is sedert 2008 steeds vakant gelaat.

De Sampaio neem al drie jaar waar as adjunkdirekteur en het sedertdien nog twee keer om die pos aansoek gedoen, maar nie weer die kortlys gehaal nie.

Ander dokumente toon die metroraad het verlede maand tydens ’n vergadering besluit mense wat nie aangestel mag word nie omdat hulle nie verteenwoordiging gaan bevorder nie, mag nie op ’n kortlys geplaas word nie.

Volgens die hofbevel moet die metro De Sampaio op die kortlys plaas en in die laaste week vandeesmaand ’n onderhoud met hom voer vir die pos.

“Die respondent se onderhoudsproses vir die pos sal op ’n regverdige en konsekwente wyse gebeur met oorweging van die kandidate op die kortlys se kwalifikasies, ndervinding en geskiktheid sonder om billikheidsreg in ag te neem,” lui die hofbevel.

Die pos mag nie vakant gelaat word nie en as iemand anders as De Sampaio aangestel word, moet die metroraad skriftelik redes vir die besluit gee.

Die vakbond Solidariteit, wat die saak namens De Sampaio hof toe geneem het, het aangevoer die metro se optrede is nie in ooreenstemming met die Wet op Billike Indiensneming nie.

“Ons beskou die hofbevel as ’n oorwinning vir geregtigheid en ’n oorwinning vir meriete,” het dr. Dirk Hermann, uitvoerende adjunkhoof van Solidariteit, gesê.

“Inwoners van Tshwane kan nou weet die beste persoon vir die pos gaan aangestel word en die beste diens gaan gelewer word.”

Dit is die 22ste hofsaak waarby die vakbond betrokke is teen wat hy die onbillike toepassing van regstellende aksie deur ’n staatsinstelling noem.

Volgens Hermann oortree werkgewers die wet dikwels deur “verteenwoordiging” in ag te neem, maar nié regverdigheid, vermoë en objektiwiteit, soos die wet vereis nie.

Die vakbond is besig met hofdokumente vir ’n sambreelsaak waarin hy “regstellende aksie as geheel” in die arbeidshof wil pak.

De Sampaio het gesê die hofbevel gee hom ’n kans om die metro na die beste van sy vermoë te dien.


Mnr. Marco de Sampaio en nog ’n wit applikant se name is van die kortlys geskrap.

Sorry, but I couldn't find an English article for this, this is the reality that of how affirmative action is being implemented. People who are less qualified are more than often hired above more qualified people, this is the 22nd case of this nature that solidarity has undertaken.

The metrocops is prepared to leave a top job position open just because there isn't a suitable black candidate.
 
Years ago I got a job in the state health department where a few jails would fall under me. They even send me for the medical check. Got a phone call the one day to let me know I can't get the job anymore. After doing my own investigation into the matter it was revealed that the position has been reserved for a ........listen to this carefully.

a black student
who was doing his second year
for a third year in a row.

But hey, I caused apartheid so feeling very very guilty for the harm I've done this country I just stepped aside.
 
My mom and I discussed this last night. She has a lady friend (of coloured ethnicity) that is actually changing her last name to her husband's black surname because her current surname is too "white" and she can't find work.

It's sad, sick and collectively twisted.
 
More racial agenda writing from yours truly.

Why not go with "Give everyone a fair chance at work", but no beeld likes to push its sensational and toilet putty. They are not helping the racial divide, but clearly keeping it alive. I mean the struggle MUST go on :rolleyes:...

What does a fair chance entail really? My point is that AA (which is a policy that I am admirable against, because it is bad in theory) is also bad in practice. Those who practice it aren't consequent.

In theory if two said candidates are of equal calibre then the PDI gets the job, however in this case the white oke was clearly better qualified (the courts even ruled so). This didn't happen here or in the other 22 cases that solidarity took on, which gives me the impression that it is a common practice to not implement it properly.

I agree beeld is being sensationalistic, much like any newspaper, however they do not create the stuff that allows it to be sensationalistic. That is what the government and in this case the metropolice did.

Still nothing stopped them of actually not going to racist, agenda and sensationalistic route and just go with "every one" and not with just magically singling out one part of our society. Not not doing so they are just another puppet supporting the racial divide to feed their capalistic greed. Sê ook nie veel van die mense wat dit net dadelik gaan koop om te kyk waaroor heirdie storie nou gaan nie, want ek skat dis nou juis die wat hulle getuiken het, daai "soort", ne ?

We will never ever have unity if we are socially lambasted with the great struggle, the great racial divide in everything we see and do, but yes the spice must flow...

It is not their fault, if government wants to achieve 'unity '(whatever the hell that might mean) through a flawed affirmative action, then the newspapers have a responsibility to report on it. It is governments fault - they are just transferring the message to us - or maybe we should all accept that this crony AA is just the will of the majority and that government knows what is best for us.

Doesn't change the matter that it would have done them no wrong to go with the headline "Give everyone a fair chance?" over "Gee wittes 'n kans".

Of course they can report on it, but use the excuse of o my god, it's not their fault it's the wrong doer's fault the story and that that's why that specific headline was used is just seriously retarded and lame to say the least.

Fail is fail and those who read and support Beeld surely is supporting this agenda. They could have easily gone the non sensational route and have rather done it in a correct manner than going the dollar bill incorrect manner. Specifically keeping on using certain words and sentences to invoke some sort of interest and emotion like a cheap whore is not helping their cause and reflects badly on those who support it. They are as much as guilty on the matter of racial divide as is the government themselves. It's a disgusting agenda to fill their pockets as to keeping the struggle alive so they can keep on reporting gutter style.

If you think by opposing their style of reporting is just accepting reversed apartheid then you clearly can't see the bigger problem here which they and rest of the media are keeping alive for their sake of profit. It has nothing to do with just putting head in ground or keeping finger in arse, it's about starting somewhere to end this stupid dog chase tail infinite loop.

Maar nou ja, skaap is 'n skaap en wolf is wolf...
