It’s actually racist to even allow white people to have jobs at all.
A leaked internal Dis-Chem memo detailing a memorandum on the recruitment and employment of white South Africans must have spoilt its author, chief executive Ivan Saltzman’s weekend.
The correspondence has sparked outrage from several South African politicians and organisations.
Economist Dawie Roodt also weighed in and said: “My family and I will no longer shop at Dis-Chem.”
The letter, details the chain’s decision to no longer hire white people, because as Saltzman put it: “When no suitable black candidate is found and a white is appointed, we need several blacks just to maintain the status quo, never mind moving forward.”
He then went on to say that no whites should be employed. It is a conundrum that many South African companies and sports teams face on a daily basis.
