Mr. Speaker/ Madam Deputy-Speaker/ Chair
Die ANC staan nou al vir meer as 15 jaar aan die stuur van ‘n ekonomie wat nie genoeg werk skep vir die behoeftes van Suid-Afrikaners nie. Dit opsigself is ‘n aanduiding dat die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie ‘n ernstige sistemiese fout het.
Daar sal dus gekyk moet word waar daardie foutlyne lê en dit moet reggestel word om die hele samelewing in balans te bring ten einde sosiale geregtigheid te laat geskied, veral die uitwissing van armoede op ‘n volhoubare grondslag.
The labour regime, being a fundamental pillar of our economy, is one of the factors that contribute to the gravity of the fault line that plagues the fight against poverty. In this regard the ANC has a lot of explaining to do.
While the labour regime was ostensibly designed to provide for the incongruent and incompatible corrective measures of inclusive economic growth and employment on the one hand and systemic discrimination against whites on the other hand, it has now endeavoured to extend its insidious set of discrimination to those who are not quite black enough, namely the Coloured and Indian communities.
This set of social engineering, devised by racial engineer Jimmy Manyi, has proven to be fatal for the ANC. The election results clearly indicate that minorities now overwhelmingly vote for opposition parties. It also indicates that minorities do not like discrimination by a party who proudly proclaims itself to be the champion of human rights in South Africa. The ANC is clearly not that champion. You also have open toilets. I think you have more open toilets than the DA!
Die feit is egter dat die ANC in sy wysheid om diskriminerende beleid op minderhede af te dwing poog om so effektief soos die Duitsers in die Tweede Wêreldoorlog te werk te gaan deur die verdere befondsing van die Inspeksie en Wetstoepassingsdienste, dit terwyl die ANC nalaat om by sy eie voordeur te vee!
Let me explain. In a parliamentary question to the minister of Labour regarding the racial profile of the public service on all levels of employment, it was established that minorities are underrepresented as follows:
Top Management Level: White and Coloured women are underrepresented;
Senior Management Level: Coloured people are underrepresented;
Semi-Skilled Level: Whites and Indians are underrepresented;
Unskilled Level: again Whites and Indians are underrepresented.
This begs the question: when will government first fix their own system? It smacks of double standards to impose laws on the private sector and individuals when it cannot even comply with its own rules. I trust that the minister will give us an answer on how she intends to deal with this situation.
Dit is dus duidelik dat, in die geheel beskou, die staat nog baie werk het om minderhede ‘n gelyke geleentheid te gee om werk in die staatsdiens te kry. Gegewe die groeiende hoeveelheid arm blankes, onder andere, is dit ‘n skande dat hulle onderverteenwoordig is op die onderste twee vlakke.
Die ANC het tydens hierdie verkiesing gevoel wat die onmiddellike impak van swak beleid kan wees. Daar is egter ook ‘n langtermyn scenario wat in ag geneem kan word. Om aan te hou met die toepassing van diskriminerende wette wat veronderstel is om gelykheid te verseker sonder om vir die doelwit van die uitfasering daarvan te beplan, is ‘n aanduiding dat hierdie wette eintlik bedoel is om permanent te bly; volgens Jimmy Manyi se bizarre logika 350 jaar!
I, therefore, wish to present a warning to the ANC. If it is the ANC's implied wish never to phase out affirmative action, then you can view the future in alternate ways, all of which will come to pass in different times. Nicolas Taleb, the author of the now famous book ‘The Black Swan', uses the metaphor of a person playing Russian roulette.
Each click of an empty chamber represents one history where nothing significantly happens: just business as usual. Yet, if the person would continue clicking through the empty chambers, the bad history will at some point catch up with him.
Many in the ANC who will at that point experience the revolt by minorities against this discrimination will likely see it as the visitation of the Black Swan, Taleb's metaphor for an unforeseen event with a disproportional effect. In reality it will actually be a Grey Swan as you have actually today been warned against this event.
The question is, will you listen?
Die tyd sal leer.
Dankie Speaker/ Adjunk-Speaker/ Voorsitter
