This is wrong on so many levels. I feel violated just having read it and I'm not even a developer/programmer professionally.

Straight and to the point

 

[CamiKaze]

Must have Relevant Programming experience / Tertiary education
Offering R8000.00

Because no self respecting black developer is going to accept that salary.

Surely that's a graduate salary.

I got that with only matric and 24 hours knowledge of PHP when I started development 8 years ago.

Well with aa, beee, and all that other crap, that's 1 add so demographically. I would say it's fine and will fit in with the quota system. Yeah blaming the son for this sins of the father. Starts looking like a vicious circle dosn't it?

Edit: That's assuming we talking about the race part.... On Salary I don't think that's a bad starting salary.

Indeed. The only programming exp. needed for R8000 pm is fekking around at varsity.

I was going to say that is a tea lady's salary but that is unfair to the the multitude of honest, hard working tea ladies and other workers in SA who don't earn that much.
