How the f*ck is that a choice? How is that VOLUNTARY?
If the terms are not to your liking then don't take the job. Simple. It's just like any other job in the country. If the terms really are unsuitable then they will not get the people they need and will have to increase the offer (witness SAPL 2007 for how this works!) I kind of suspect that they will not get the interest they need with what they are offering, but lets see.
If you are unhappy with the terms but take the job anyway, then you are part of the problem, and have no right to complain.
