AfriForum launches campaign against Discovery racism
19 November 2018
The civil rights organisation AfriForum today launched a campaign to inform the public against the planned racial discrimination of the new Discovery Bank division. The webpage www.stopracism.co.za was made available for this purpose and to allow the public to add their voice to the dispute that AfriForum has declared with Discovery.
This follows Discovery’s announcement that its new initiative, Discovery Bank, will discriminate against minorities on a racial basis by exclusively giving black depositors a 10% share in the company.
In reaction, AfriForum announced a four-point plan to encourage the organisation’s members and supporters to participate. The plan is as follows:
Contact Discovery per email, telephonically or via social media to place your shock and disappointment with its racist actions on record. Put in a plea for equal treatment.
