Wreckage of affirmative action

The Witness: "Wreckage of affirmative action"
AFFIRMATIVE action at any cost is wreaking havoc with all sectors of Msunduzi Municipality and Phil Mashoko seems surprised that qualified engineers and other qualified staff don’t apply for jobs with the council.

They know that they can never get to the top if they are white, unless they are African National Congress supporters. How many qualified white electricians were given packages in order to make way for affirmative action appointments? I personally know of quite a few. Their lives were made miserable until they eventually took their packages, even though they would rather have stayed until reaching pensionable age.
