Say again?

Aviation will always be dominated by whites? Says who? It looks much more as if you don't have a way, there in South Africa, to select and train suitable aviation candidates from your "previously disadvantaged" majority. Solve that one and you will solve the pilot shortage.

Could part of the problem be that the bright and capable ones have better ways to make a living than by poking holes in the sky? Perhaps terms and conditions for police flying need to be improved to make this sort of work more attractive.

In the meantime, though, to leave a modern police force without air support in the name of "diversity" is Political Correctness gone mad. I assume that someone in charge has taken on the challenge of hiring the handicapped as well as those of suitable race. Just because you are "differently abled" (what used to be called "handicapped") why shouldn't you, too, be a police pilot?

It is good to see that the ANC version of racial justice is being achieved even at the cost of grounding police aircraft. That must send a strong message to the rest of the world in the struggle against inequality if not crime.

Let us see how your World Cup visitors come away from that event, if they are as understanding of being robbed or shot as part of the price of achieving racial justice. Has anyone bothered to check with some of the gangsters to see where they stand on this?
