Whites start to fight back

By

Dear Editor

For many years the white people of this country have sat back and watched as affirmative action takes place. But over the past few weeks I for one has started to notice a change. White people are staring to fight back, or protest if you will. And the are not doing it with pangas and guns but using the modern technology of today. Firstly SAA advertised that no white people should apply for its pilot training. This was challenged by a white person who took it to the media and of course the issue being in the spotlight and with comments such as “lets forget SAA, fly BA” this made the company backtrack on this racist and antiquated policy.

And now it is the time of Woolworths who advertised that only black, coloured and Indians must apply for vacant positions. And this also brought to the media attention, so much so that Steve Hofmeyer has said he will stop buying their products. So it seems that the wheel is staring to turn, no matter how slow, it is turning. This should be a wake up call to all other companies to not make the same mistakes. It could be to your detriment

  1. Not really “fighting back” … but government/companies/organisations must realise racism should stop NOW … let the best candidate get the job!

  2. Vote with your Rands, folks. It is high time that we support businesses that are run on business principles, not pandering to the tendertrepreneurs. The Jews do it, so why not the broader South African population – of all hues. We can all accept that 40 years of apartheid did much damage to the wealth of the average citizen, but continuing with reverse Apartheid inadfinitum serves no purpose other than to make the chosen few even richer.

  3. It really is time to take a stand, and they want us to live together in harmony, hell who is kidding the gullible. Well here is a nice one of the productivity and service at Woolworths. Stand and read the paper, because I can…you can just stand and wait.
    Who is waiting in the queue with their precious rands and cents?

  4. Why don’t we all just fill our trolleys up at Woolworths, stand in the queue, let them ring everything up and then just walk out before paying. Is that possible?

  5. I feel sorry for our first batch of matrics this year, the born in 1994 babies…. they had nothing to do with what is forced apon them once out of school….. would you stay in South Africa if you were in their shoes????
