White skills returning for 2010

I'm not sure how much of this i actually believe.
I think it could just be a stunt to get skilled expats that have left to believe
that things are rosy in SA and lure them into returning.

Whatever it is, why would anyone in their right mind want to come back to SA
after they have left. Do they know what the state of the country really is?

The article is misleading.... it doesnt say anything about that the "whites ARE returning"

Cape Town - The Soccer World Cup tournament in 2010 is starting to lure white experts such as engineers, construction workers and accountants back to South Africa.

The government doesn't even want to utilise the 'white skills' that's (still) available in the country, why would they want to utilise 'overseas' skills?

I worked in London for two years and returned by choice. I am still staying here by choice.

I think the difference is that I have that choice, if I couldn't work anywhere else I also might be panicking, but I can so I can enjoy this country.

But the article or solidarity doesnt say that these jobs went to returning whites or whites that never left the country.

catch a wake up buddy, i agree with u regarding work in specialised industries, but unless ya wanna work as a maid or in a government hospital or u live somewhere in Springbok, decent jobs in a decent company are scarce.

I am sorry, I do not believe for one second that white people are returning or will be returning because of the 2010 wc. I believe it is once again a thumb suck and propaganda campaign to add a bit of racial flavor to the media with subtlety. In other words, another carefully selected heading to pull readers!

The ANC just did what it is good at, fabricating lies... Only reason ppl are returning is cause their 2 year visa is up, no other reason

xtermin8or do you believe everything you read? I take it you also love mugabe

I don't see what xtermin8or has said that you can't believe?

It's amazing that he gets attacked because he states real facts.

Whites can get jobs in SA that is a blatant fact. You me and 90% of this online forum can attest to that.

why would any white want to come back unless you are loaded and coming retire/ be with family. The corporate world is not for white people anymore it is a total waste of time as it is pointless to try climb the lader as your lader is about three times as high as the black guy next to you.

Before I get flamed... I can see why it is necassary...but I won't stay here to help the cosmetic changes the country can't seem to live without (ie. i am tired of doing lazy EE canditates work for them).

Join the club! I also had to do it and decided rather to resign.

Damn, it must be fantastic to be a BEE employee, you can be the laziest & most unproductive employee, but your job is safe!

Eish, it is lekka!!

Nope, that is true! But this is not about xtermin8or, it is about journalists that turn a story for their own agenda (to sell more news papers) with a misleading heading once again, adding fuel to the racial divide.
