Read the linked article at my post #25. A company that want to do business with any SA public entity, or be a supplier to any company which does business with the government, will have to comply with affirmative-action goals in hiring.
I saw that. It’s a clear affirmative action requirement that will disadvantage whites relative to blacks. But, it does not mean that whites are completely excluded from the job market.
We have, or are developing, similar diversity requirements in the USA.
I agree they suck.. I prefer a meritocracy to a racial spoils system.
