But there sure were a whole lot of white applicants who could have put those birds to good use! God forbid!

White pilots have been refused employment in the South African Police Service (SAPS) despite there being 53 vacancies and a critical shortage of pilots to carry out vital police flying, Democratic Alliance (DA) deputy police spokeswoman Debbie Schäfer says.


I guess they will have to "import" qualified blacks in to South Africa from other parts of the world to meet these requirements, just like they have done in many other industries in order to satisfy South Africa's draconian 'representivity' laws. :knife:

Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa has acknowledged that when 53 vacancies for pilots were advertised recently, there were 120 applications but in the interests of “representivity” only four new pilots and four student pilots were appointed. Schäfer says this meant that 85% of advertised vacancies remained vacant.


Why are there so many skilled labor shortages when blacks have the largest pool of 'potential labor' at 80% of the population, or roughly 39 million people? :knife:

I heard about this outrage on an aviation forum.

Why can't the 40 million blacks in South Africa fill the shoes of the 4 million whites who run everything?

Because well-educated black professionals are just like their white counterparts: they don't want to live in South Africa either.
