I robbed my own post office of R100 000, says manager

[ForceFate]

Yes, there are white people working for government, but let's not be dishonest and claim that white people have a lot of representation in upper management of government and/or SOEs. They don't. How many cabinet ministers are white? I can think of one off the top of my head and I don't know if he still is minister - Derek Hanekom.

To say nothing of the vast hordes of middle managers. Face it - white people are not welcome in government.

Must I dig out court cases of police officers who were wrongly refused promotion because they were the wrong skin colour? In some cases, being coloured is not enough, you must now be black. There have been more than one such case that featured on MyBB.

You're shifting the goalposts but I'll bite. There's Barbara Creecy and John Jeffery I think. Not sure about Hanekom. Cabinet posts are political appointments thus, don't fall under normal employment processes. They're decided by party hierarchy.

Bango told officers that two coloured males entered the post office, held him up at gunpoint and took him to the safe.
“They reported that there were two black men outside the Post Office, but they did not go inside.

it has been a while since i read an article describing ones race that was involved in a no no

In any case, the point is, not many white people at all in government, and even less in senior positions in government.

I would bet that whites are underrepresented in government but no one gives a damn.

0.75 people over every 10? Stats used in the article I posted paint a different picture but it's not about the numbers only.

Most senior government appointments are political whether cabinet or otherwise.

You may not like the hyperbole used in my post but the fact that white people have been systematically worked out of every public office is very much a reality.

Not entirely out yet. But the official policy remains in place to ensure whites are ultimately eliminated until they are reduced to the equivalent of a maximum of 7.9% irrespective of merit.

Moving the goalposts. That's a different discussion entirely with some truths in it.

No, still BS, zero facts.

Ok, lets get more specific then as to what the Reserve bank is

according to s224(2) of the constitution only consultation needs to take place, it doesn't say anything about government (executive) telling the bank what interest rate to set, infact the constitution is quite clear that the central bank acts independently

So, carry on explaining how, say, FNB controls inflation, and, then, how this is used to steal money from us.

yeah there is that problem called fractional reserve banking....

LOL. Look who got stung into doing some research

It's still not FNB though.

And you still haven't explained how the banks causing inflation leads them to stealing your money. Might also be a good point to start.

yeah there is that problem called fractional reserve banking....

I don't know what this is. So:

1) Why don't you tell us what it is
2) Why it's a problem
3) How it then fits in with your, as yet unexplained, theory that banks steal money from us via inflation.

 

[saturnz]

I don't know what this is. So:

yeah no sorry thats not going to happen, thats like a lesson

as for research, I'm well aware of 223 and s224, I am also well aware of the commentary made by Ambrosini on this part of the constitution, you do know who that is right?

 

[Splinter]

yeah no sorry thats not going to happen, thats like a lesson

Ok, so it's irrelevant.

However, you STILL haven't explained how the banks causing inflation leads them to stealing your money.

Oh yes - the president and the finance minister appoint the Governor of the Reserve Bank.....

and the governor is the only one that makes decisions? why doesn't the government just own the bank and have the finance minister make the decisions, seems much simpler and cheaper

as for fractional reserve banking which banks engage in, for every rand printed, the money supply expands by a multiple greater than 1, you will have to do the research on that yourself

Just pointing out that there is a collaborative relationship between the two, dearie.

And no, I am not doing any research on your behalf - especially when you refuse to explain, again, the details of your theory that banks cause inflation and steal money from us.

Oy vey, it's almost like you have nothing to back it up with...

not collaborative, consultative, thats the terminology used in the constitution- the overriding legislation in this nation state

edit: and no not my theory

Fractional Reserve Banking

Fractional reserve banking is a system in which only a fraction of bank deposits are backed by actual cash on hand and are available for withdrawal.

Well, colour me corrected on this massive point.

But, ermm, this still hasn't changed.

Oh yes - does this mention anything about paying your personal income tax?

you do not even know anything about fractional reserve banking, something I think they may even teach in good schools that teach economics, it was taught in introductory economics courses when I was studying, this leads me to believe you lack a basic understanding of economics, so me explaining is going to be a complete waste of time, given that your intention is not to learn
