Call to include ‘freeborns’ in AA

‘Freeborns’, I would have thought that term refers to children of slaves born after emancipation, seems it is now a term used to refer to white South African youths who entered school after 1994.

Now, as much as I hope and wish for the sake of youngsters stuck in the AA nightmare that something will give, I don’t feel any warm fuzzy optimism that asking government nicely will help any. I remember some fat lip stating ‘AA is here to stay’ and will not be inclusive of any whites.
It’s a wonder that more whites haven’t turned to crime and formed gangs to make a living out of that ‘informal’ sector which the darkies have had as a ‘captured’ market.

Johannesburg - Trade union Solidarity is to ask Parliament to introduce an amendment act exempting the youth from affirmative action, it said on Monday.

Spokesperson Dirk Hermann said the union would ask Parliament onTuesday to consider the introduction of the Amendment Act on Freeborn South Africans.”The proposed amendment asks that the Employment Equity Act be amended to include all South Africans who have entered school since 1994 in the designated group, to benefit from affirmative action. “This then would widen the definition meaning that the designated group will be legally defined as black people, females and people with disabilities,” said Hermann.He said the proposed amendment act - signed by “thousands” of people - would be handed to the Speaker’s office on Tuesday. - Sapa

Young whites ‘lose out twice’

Young white South Africans are being deprived of equal opportunities twice thanks to affirmative action - once when applying to tertiary institutions, and again when they enter the job market.

We (the youth of SA) had nothing to do with the previous regime and now we are the ones bearing the brunt of a policy that is in fact not serving the academic aim but is used to oppress us.

..what can one say?
