Shocking racial scaremongering bad journalism yes, nowhere in the article has Telkom said they will "target whites", its the journo speculating.

The high lighted bit says it all.

‘Our Obligation’

Telkom said yesterday it intends to reduce its “management layer” by about 25 percent.

The operator, about 40 percent owned by the South African government, “will consider a number of criteria, one of which is our obligation to comply with the Employment Equity Act.”

The other criteria include qualifications, potential, length of service, and gender, according to a document that the unions, Solidarity and the South African Communications Union, said they received.

“This process is an imperative for the survival of the business into the future and its necessary success,” Telkom spokeswoman Sinah Phochana said in an e-mailed response to questions yesterday.

She declined to verify the document or answer questions on whether the company will make cuts based on race or gender.

Whites, who make up 8.7 percent of the population of 53 million, occupy 63 percent of top business management posts, the Employment Equity Commission said last year.

At Telkom, white males account for 38 percent of senior management and 39 percent of middle management, according to its 2013 annual report.

That’s higher than the proportion of black employees of any gender and white females.

Perhaps but the last 2 companies I worked for had an "only employ PDI and only promote whites in exceptional circumstances" policy.

 

Doesn't bode well for the pale male/female.

I walked into those then straight back out...

I went for a swim in the sea and then a rinse off under the beach showers.

 

No queue to get into the sea or under the beach shower, great success :thumbup:

 

Both waters were clean, one a bit saltier than the other

 

I went straight to swim in the sea. Ex - Durbanite needs his taste of salt water to recharge the batteries.

this is where entrepreneurs comes in. Start your own business.

My business don't need a BEE rating as I don't have any government contracts or clients that want to push their BEE ratings. Thus, I employ who I want, I work for whoever pays me and I am as happy as a pig in Palestine.
