I have heard through the grapevine that it is black people only. Well, maybe coloured people too. Perhaps also people who are not that coloured but, coloured enough. Now that's a thought. How do you know if you're black enough, or coloured enough, whatever that means? I mean, you think you are black but it turns out that your mother was black and your father was white and you picked up the black genes, and your brother picked up the white genes. Who gets the job?

Is there a bit on the interview form where they put a mark against how black you look? Is there a card they hold up against you? I am sure they don't ask you about the colour of your parents? That would be racist surely??

So, it must be a skin thing? So, if you have the wrong skin, no job.

What a sorry state of affairs!
