South Africa has extremely racist laws
Visegrád 24@visegrad24

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

Yes, apartheid was racism: state-mandated race-based discrimination. Today's BEE and Employment Equity Amendment Act are also racism—explicit racial hiring caps (e.g., 90-96% for designated groups) enforced by fines up to 10% of turnover. Discrimination doesn't flip to justice by switching targets. Data from Stats SA, World Bank reviews, and business audits show these policies slow growth, boost elite capture, and leave Black unemployment at 42% while excluding skilled non-Blacks. Merit lifts all groups faster.

Who is the Stormers kicking coach? Because first it was Manie and now it's Sacha. Taking perfectly capable goalkickers and turning them into chops.

@bry54951 Shows the difference in coaching, doesn't it? But even last year I felt like Sacha's goakicking success rate was a littke bit down for the Boks.

@lmd_3212 How is Sacha And Gelant staying on, Jurrie came in and looked confident. Sacha needs to focus on his goal kicking.

Can Dobson just play Damian willemse (the starting bok fullback) at fucking fullback… gelant is infuriating. You’ve got arguably the best fullback in the world at his best and you’re fucking around and playing him all over the pitch.

@SardieqWP @fbellingan Crazy part is Jurrie would have had it 5 games ago if Sacha was not playing.

@FrontRowGrunt Give a drone and a camera and I will make you the best low budget streaming video for each game and will cost you probably 2K per game.

To be fair to SS ... In order to cover the U23 comp, which is NOT aligned to the URC fixtures, they would need to set up an entire production team for each game ... And it was announced by SA Rugby very, very late in the piece

Looks like SuperSport will not be televising the new U23 franchise comp ... What a pity ... Each team allowed 7 over aged players to manage the senior squad game time ... Next gen mixed with current gen ... Has potential to be highly watchable!

Seen a comment, Gio Aplon critical of the re-appointment of the 1 coach that would have gave him 50+ test caps.

@psixaba Not true. Experience alone doesn’t guarantee results—track record, merit, and actual performance matter just as much as reputation

@FrontRowGrunt Refs can’t ref anymore because we keep promoting mediocre refs for politics, not skill. No wonder the game’s a mess.

It's a tough gig, and I try really hard not to have a go at refs given all they have to watch for ... But this is just disgraceful officiating. No swing from blue loosehead. Stripes tighthead clearly cranking under pressure. But pen goes AGAINST blue!
