Agree with B200Drvr
The ability to swim is a legislated requirement laid down by the SACAA. Next,I suppose, airlines are going to be prosecuted for not hiring people as cabin crew because they're blind, deaf, confined to a wheelchair etc. etc.
Certain jobs, because of the safety implications inherent in them, involve a certain amount of discrimination when recruiting candidates. I'm certain the ability to swim is required of white candidates as well. I just wonder if Comair/Kulula would pay for swimming lessons for white candidates?
If not then they can be charged with discrimination on the basis of race, which runs counter to our Constitution. Discrimination applies both ways, not only white towards black but black towards white as well!
