'Racial quotas contributed to our current economic woes. Hire South Africans on merit, and focus on investment in training where you experience weaknesses,' tweeted Mashaba.

JOHANNESBURG - ActionSA leader, Herman Mashaba believes Dis-Chem's moratorium on hiring white people is racial and divisive.

Hire South Africans on Merit, and focus on investment in training where you experience weaknesses. https://t.co/Qk9NrwfnlU My final say on #Dischem is this. Those same people who want to boycott @dischem for following government regulations about transformation and racial equity will now start shopping at Clicks, which has to follow and implement the same regulations.Struggling to understand the #Dischem backlash. . What don’t you get about redressing the past? And obeying the law? All companies have to do it. Who are you going to buy from now? https://t.

South Africa needs to try the Chris Hani approach. This Rainbow Nation Mandela khumbhaya approach is only disadvantages Africans. Dischem

twit

Hiring should always be on merit, irrespective of race, religion, culture … problem is that’s not what happens in most circumstances.

Has this always been Mashaba's stance or is he just saying this for brownie points.

He is right

Operation Dudula and PutSouthAfricanfirst zombies'leader

And where are those red turkey EFFSouthAfrica supporters now to stand up against RACISM Why do they not mobilise and close the Dischem stores? Where is MR Flip Flop and his goons now? Dischem Dischem Action4SA

Somehow you need to level the playing field, you can have quotas system to ensure you bring up those that have qualifications, experience and skills that have been left behind.

Pudi!! Herman k epudi!!

ACTIONSA is funded Jews/Zionists

Maybe it's me but I don't see anything wrong here about his comments. Let's follow the rule of law, social justice for all South Africans 🤐

The entitlement in these posts are outrageous. Typical Africa.

mashaba is right, look at the country now since black people takeover. everything it's a mess & falling apart. anc people are stealing everything, destroying our country.

We know for a fact that white people get paid more based on their whiteness

Absolutely 1 of my favorite favourites I totally agree with the list Rob Hershov publicly named in his conversation with BizNews THIS Herman Mashaba should b 1 of the 10 leaders that will turn this country around AFTER a clean cut was made&the current structure collapse vanish!

Zee_Seed9 Rubbish

Mashaba people, listen to your Mashaba. A man can leave DA but DA will never leave a man. This one is a '''''''nd licker.

Exactly.

Well said, we will boycott these Racist who bows down to the ANC Thieves

Let them release the stats on managerial post, race and qualification. You’ll find the few black people are overqualified for the crumbs they are fighting.

Exactly!

I agree 100%. This must apply in all industries then we won't have the water, crime and electricity problem that we have now because of the last two decades mismanagement.

if companies where really hiring on merit then black people would be in most of the managerial and top management positions. Our people very educated and outstanding. Mashaba is implying that black people are not qualified for management jobs? Whites must also work as packers

He trying hard to please his funders and handlers

Welele

The day we get rid of tenders is the day we will find solutions to every problem in this country

This is how you see who's pulling Pinocchios strings. One day his calling for undocumented people to be removed because they taking our jobs. Then when much needed jobs are created he also has an opinion. I have never seen a white person cleaning the floors in Dischem have you.

The real problem is that we don’t have economic policy in this country, tenders , corruption and entitlement from cadres is the policy,we also have a culture of everything for free and I recall students not wanting western maths in uni a few years ago not sure what other maths ?

Where does this guy come from? ...

Poor lost soul. Not getting my vote come 2024.

Agreed 100%..

SAns should really stop focusing/discriminating on black and white(neither is a skin tone any way) and critically and decisively choose if they follow the light of the Prince of peace or the darkness of the blood sailing witchcrafters

Somebody tell Mashaba he doesn’t have to comment on everything 😷

Mashaba is talking rubbish.

Mashaba Dischem is not your company, start your own and hire on merits

Hairman must relax. Pun intended!

When EFF wanted to visit every company to check if they comply with all the regulations all of you ridiculed it 🤷🤷 now you want to talk about dischem hiring black people. The truth is dischem is not the only company not obeying the laws of this country. EFFSouthAfrica is king

Lol.

ActionSAs stance on the issue

What is merit? Is this you communicating that Black People are less gifted than whites? I mean it can only mean that, after 20 odd years still no transformation.

tshepome2 Dear BLACK PEOPLE,here👇is the Only man I know who became a Multi millionaire by beating(1)White Monopoly Capital (2)Succeeded WITHOUT Stealing from YOU(3)Without BEE.This means we are CAPABLE OF SUCCEEDING WITHOUT THEM TOO!let us buy his books& learn how he did itHermanMashaba

Mashaba is a coconut, he must Voetsek.

I was going to vote Herman and his interpretation of Dischem issue has me going back to drawing board. I’m all for merit hiring - but he missed the point in this issue. There are plenty Black people more qualified than whites - and they should get the opportunity to be hired!!!!

Sometimes you can take a black man out of the DA, but you can't take the DA out of a black man.

Who cares what Herman thinks really.

Then hire on merit on the first day don't give whites a headstart

Lol this guy many blacks will regret for their votes if it will happen for him to be a president

Don’t engage with Dischem. Speak to the government on insisting that these targets are met. That is where this problem stems from.

This would only make sense if the system was not rigged against black people. I could be wrong but the system remains biased against highly qualified and competent black graduates. A white matriculant has better chances of employment, even if the black graduate has better marks.

The way the CEO wrote that lettee is illegal. Mashaba follows the law:

Mashaba is wrong. A typical privileged black person who kicks the ladder once they teach the top so others can remain behind. His support is temporary & is purely based on his stance on illegal immigration. |ActionSA|

read the article before you comment, that headline is maliciosly sensational, this fake eyewitness is obviously pro-DA. I'll choose Action4SA over MYANC, Our_DA or EFFSouthAfrica

People who don't understand Mashaba clearly don't support a culture of qualifications. It's not about Black & White issue. Current black Government can't create jobs. Put blame on ANC

You will hire fewer than few whites if you strictly do that on merit, anyway. Dischem will be 100% black if you follow Mashaba's logic. It's the black majority that are suitably qualified & capable. As for ActionSA, it has become DA-lite since it was infiltrated by DA rejects🚮

Mini DA this once. Trying so hard to please white people. White managers will let a black guy teach a white guy the job, after few months later that black guy will be reporting to the same white guy he taught. Hire on merit my foot, fuck ActionSA

Does Blacks hire on merit?

As if abelungi get hired on merit
