Cops refuse to employ white pilots
White pilots have been refused employment in the South African Police Service (SAPS) despite there being more than 40 vacancies and a critical shortage of pilots to carry out vital police flying, Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Debbie Schafer has charged. See

Looks like they got an inverted apartheid
I hope all the posturing fools like Peter Hain are happy with the misery they have inflicted on so many people in the name of 'democracy'.

The very definition of Democracy is majority overruling the minority. That is why civilized countries have laws and rules to protect *minorities* - but that is not part of being democratic - it is part being civilized and respectful.
Well said. Unfortunately, in SA none exists. Born & bred & AFRICA exists. it's all going down the drain.
Call me Che.

No need to put quotes around the word. The very definition of Democracy is majority overruling the minority. That is why civilized countries have laws and rules to protect *minorities* - but that is not part of being democratic - it is part being civilized and respectful.
Democracy doesn't work when you have four foxes and a chicken sitting down to decide about what to have for lunch.....

In order to prevent the complete collapse and destruction of social services, all other countries that have implemented affirmative action in the past have attached so called "sunset clauses" to the policies i.e. You have X years years to get yourselves up to speed, and then its back to "most capable/qualified gets the job... I take they are still disadvantaged in SA then... ?!?

This is very unfortunate and aslo stupid. But someone in the past had taught them this kind of behaviour. I remember some years ago, in the eighties, they could not even get inside an airplane (excepted to wash the toiltets) Some old scares are still aching. So let us be humble and patient and work together for a true reconciliation.

Not in your life time....
It's going to take a few decades at least. So don't hold your breath.
Besides, It has been my sad experience that there are quite a few white South Africans, "not up to speed" either. Live it, you are part of it. We are all victims of our ancestors to a degree, as well as benefactors as it were.

Hectar, you've had your turn for 16 years and look where you got us.
From todays newspaper on line:
Amnesty report slams SA: News24: South Africa: News
now lets level the playing field and see if, by natural and merit selection, you can hold your own.
