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
BusinessDay - Police ?grounded? as white pilots are passed over

Well isn't that surprising from our very "democratic" government!

The guys flying ZS-SAP and ZS-MHN are white?

16 Years into demo-crazy and "we" still don't have a clue!!! :ugh:

Gulf 69

Theyhave been there for a long time and some are about to retire

Rather have a black chase me in a 'copter. Will have them crashed in no time.

I'm not racist, but after a lifetime of my support for equality, I am fed up.

Looks like they got an inverted apartheid, hope this mediocrity changes quickly before we get an expansion of Simbabwe into SA...

If only it were that benign, well organised and structured, 52 million people would be a lot better off than they are today.

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'.

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.

Well said. Unfortunately, in SA none exists. Born & bred & AFRICA exists. it's all going down the drain.

Call me Che.

Democracy is actually a little more than just that, it is a responsibility as much as a vote....

Democracy doesn't work when you have four foxes and a chicken sitting down to decide about what to have for lunch.....

Hear hear.

I just wish that those who take these racist decisions one day deperately need a SAPS chopper for back-up and there isn't one availble.

Democracy
 

Democracy Is The Tyranny Of The Masses!

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... ?!? :ugh::ugh::ugh:

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.

its only right
 

its not nice isnt it....we were the underdogs never looked at..now its our turn:=

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.

Looks like Hectar has a major chip on his shoulder. Like ByAirMail says why don't you try get ahead on your merits...................that is of course if you have any. Playing the poor little "victim" is really starting to get old!
