Comair's response, which makes sense, something which escapes our government and its supporters

 

[dlk001]

The Xhosa tribe for instance has no history of using water for anything but drinking and bathing. Was it taboo (?), I don't know, but they certainly didn't venture into water much.

'ukuqubha' does not mean bathing or drinking.

I hope they sue the GVT. Time for big business to stand up against the racist regime running this circus of a country. Good for them. Go Comair. Show them you can stand up to them

I can just see the headline:

Anyone can FLY, but not everyone can swim. Kalula claims

lol

I want to meet the CEO which set this policy up. Adding him to my list alongside the accountants which embezzled the 2 billion from the land bank.

Good response, the problem is government is convinced they're omnipotent.

Dept of Labour claims "Kulula: Blacks can't swim"

Comairs rebuttal - they "could not swim"

big difference.

Yip there is a difference, well not sure if we see it the same way, but the way I see it is that the dept sees their statement as being generally applied to all blacks, while Comair's claim (at least in the way it comes across to me in their wording) is that the black applicants who applied for the job could not swim.

 

[Vrotappel]

He said if Comair was found guilty the company would be ordered to pay a fine of R900 000 and the costs of the application.

Our tax money at work - enforcing racist laws.

 

[Ou grote]

And Comair still have to worry about complying with CAA laws...

Wonderful isn't it, we're effectively paying to be discriminated against.

@krycor. Commercial airliners don't carry any parachutes but they do have plenty of rafts and other floatation devices in case of a water landing.

ooh ok *ponder* ok.. i guess, tho depending on speed its just as bad, though inland bound flights have no where to go. I think its dependant on where u live. If you are in JHB you *might* struggle to find 'black' people that can swim perhaps, though go to durbs and i am pretty sure this is false, same here in cape town. i.e. its due to mobility and cost there off, swimming inland would mean either, pools or rivers or travelling down to the coast. Either way its silly to make a generalization like that, they maybe just interveiwing in the wrong area

 

[NoRulez]

Well, it's actually a 99% true statement. Have you ever seen a black swimmer at the Olympics?

Can't run a country either, but still happens...

 

[Darth Garth]

Good thing whites in this country aren't as racist as you are Tibby because if they were apartheid would never have ended since it too was the law of the land.

You must be somehow delusion to think that there was ever a choice .

 

[Darth Garth]

My gosh! Such a lot of racial mudslinging.

Par for the course on myKKK .
