If You’re White, You’re Out! Barloworld Defends & Continues its Systemically Racist Lay Off Programme!

Posted on Leave a comment

Black Monopoly Capital: Encouraged by racist courts, Barloworld is continuing to lay off staff simply because they are white, while Solidarity vows to intensify legal action after bringing an urgent application against Barloworld Equipment in the Labour Court, to challenge Barloworld’s consultation process during its recent race based retrenchment process.

According to Solidarity, Barloworld which manages brands like Avis, Caterpillar, Perkins, CAT, Timber24, etc., did not consult properly regarding the selection criteria used in order to decide which of its employees would be retrenched, because the selection criteria for retrenchments include, among other things, retrenchments based on race.

Willie Venter, deputy general secretary of the Metal & Engineering Industry at Solidarity said “We are extremely disappointed with the unfair way in which Barloworld handled the process. The fact that they have now laid off more workers on the basis of

#TheBlackFigLeaf To Excuse Corruption, Hide Black Incompetence & Plunder SOE’s! How Nontsasa Memela Used “Transformation” To Plunder SAA!

Posted on Leave a comment

When Zuma said “corruption” is a European word, he meant corruption itself in African culture is normal & OK, it is just Europeans who choose to make it a bad thing. At SAA, like everywhere else, they did it #TheAfricanWay. The truth is, wide scale corruption was revealed at SAA before the Zondo commission. It seems wherever there was a black man or woman in charge of anything, there was theft, fraud & corruption. 

Seems Zuma was telling the truth and it really does look like corruption is embedded in the African culture. Let us take the case of “Adv.” Nontsasa Memela, who was head of acquisition for SAA Technical (SAAT). Being African and not seeing anything wrong with corruption, she openly sat in front of the Zondo commission and lied. Like elsewhere, a lot of money was lost at SAA through corruption, bringing the entire enterprise to the brink.

The National Union of Metalworkers of SA (NUMSA) even warned SAA about the corruption but were ignored by S

Tired of being ‘coloured’ – Coloured activist is now dragging government to court to remove the separate classification of coloured and Indian

Posted on Leave a comment

An activist who is tired of being classified as a coloured South African is now dragging the government to scrap the separate classifications of coloured and Indian and rather to regard them as black South Africans.

Glen Snyman, a teacher from Oudtshoorn and founder of People Against Race Classification (Parc), has started a lawsuit against the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and the National Department of Basic Education in the Cape Labour Court.

He claims, among other things, that:

* Brown and Indian people’s race classification should carry the same weight as when considering black candidates for positions or promotion;

* Blocks on application forms in which someone has to classify themselves as brown or Indian must be removed from all WCED forms.

* Someone can identify himself as “other” in the person’s racial classification, instead of coloured or Indian, on the WCED recruitment website;

* The WCED immediately stops using the word and id

Even if you are the president of SA you are not above the law! – Ramaphosa faces possible Labour Court action for retrenching farm staff

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s president is not above the law, and his so-called cases of dismissing 22 of his 46 farm workers could land him in the Labor Court. Cyril Ramaphosa dismissed the farm workers in his service, and used the excuse that it was a business decision because foot-and-mouth disease could threaten his cattle herd. No one has yet been able to explain what the illness has to do with his staff’s dismissal, and now unions apparently want to drag their president to the Labor Court.

The farm workers’ union, Fawu, is apparently at the forefront and has threatened to take President Cyril Ramaphosa to task over allegations that he retrenched over half of his Ntaba Nyoni farm staff, in October. According to the union they are protecting their members against “unlawful” retrenchment, but whether the union has the courage to act against its president will learn the time, political analysts say. What is unfair, however, is that the president may not be held accountable f
