All whites barred from job market: ANC-paper

White women now ‘the biggest losers’ under latest new anti-white job-exclusion laws in South Africa – white men have been excluded for past 7 years: the white women were allowed jobs, while the white men became migrant workers, usually off-continent: even the most skilled South African men no longer ‘qualify’ for the SA job market

Whites guilty of ‘fronting companies’ or working as ‘labour brokers’ could be jailed for 10 years…

Jan 6 2011 – Although their children consistently obtain the highest educational pass-rates, it’s especially the 3,5-million-strong Afrikaner community which will effectively be completely barred from the South African job-sector under the ANC regime’s new employment amendment bill.

“This is a victory for the black business lobby, which has been fighting to exclude white women from the job market’… writes ANC’s own newspaper, New Age

Definition of ‘black people’ under SA labour law:

The new amendment bill now defines black people who have 100% access to the entire SA job market -- as "Africans, Coloureds and Indians who are citizens of the Republic of South Africa by birth or descent, or who became citizens of the Republic of South Africa by naturalisation".

The ANC's own newspaper, New Age, reporter Gaongalelwe Tiro, reports with considerable joy that 'white women would be the biggest losers" --  once the broad-based black economic empowerment amendment bill was enacted as expected early next year, BEE specialist Andile Tlhoaele said on Monday.

The proposed changes meant they (white women) would no longer be entitled to benefit from empowerment programmes as has been the case till now.

“This represents a victory for the black business lobby, which has been fighting for their exclusion.” White women would no longer be regarded as legitimate beneficiaries of black economic empowerment once imminent new laws come into effect, a member of a subcommittee of the presidential BEE advisory committee, Andile Tlhoaele, said in an interview.

‘ The new amendment bill now ELIMINATES all white people including disabled ones: ‘

The Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Amendment Bill eliminates all white people including the disabled. “The definition of black people is now clear and aligned with the Constitution,” Tlhoaele said.
There has been widespread criticism that white women were "benefitting disproportionately" from black economic empowerment with their black counterparts relegated to the bottom rung of the drive to redress societal inequalities. The Black Management Forum has been leading the calls for white women to be excluded after it came to light that they were the fastest rising category of people in terms of employment equity.

“Inclusion of white women had been abused…’

Tlhoaele said the inclusion of white women "had been abused. This had defeated the aim of true inclusivity."
Now that the B-BBEE Act would take precedence over other legislation relating empowerment, enterprises would no longer be able to claim employment equity points for white women. Employment equity is a key element of the B-BBEE scorecard used to rate empowerment credentials.

The Employment Equity Act now still has white women as a designated group for “affirmative action purposes”. Tlhoaele said proposed changes to BEE legislation would “go a long in ensuring that growing numbers of previously disadvantaged South Africans were drawn into the mainstream economy…” (Question: by excluding the entire 3,5-million-strong Afrikaner minority? )

Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies gazetted the Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Amendment Bill two weeks ago and gave members of the public 60 days to make submissions. Another highlight of the amendments has been the criminalisation of the practice of misrepresenting BEE credentials, known as “fronting”.

Women found guilty of ‘fronting’ could face jail terms of up to 10 years…

In terms of the proposed amendments, those involved in fronting could face jail terms of up to 10 years or be fined 2%-10% of annual turnover depending on the seriousness of the incident. In addition, contracts awarded to guilty companies could be cancelled.

Further, the amended law requires the government and its agencies (and its tender companies) to comply. The auditor-general will audit and report on BEE compliance for government departments.

Stock exchange-listed companies will be required to submit annual reports to the B-BBEE Commission, which the amendments propose. The commission’s function would include supervising adherence to the act.

It would further receive and investigate complaints relating to B-BBEE, and maintain a registry of major empowerment transactions. “The proposals are a bold move and demonstrate government’s commitment to ensure successful implementation of BEE,” Tlhoaele said.

“The Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Amendment Bill closes many loopholes in the current BEE Act – a move that is long overdue.” article in New Age by: gaongalelwet@thenewage.co.za

OBJECTIONS RAISED: (note: with two-thirds majority in Parliament, the ANC-regime routinely passes its own legislation) :

Pretoria - The Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act Amendment Bill is "a step in the wrong direction", Afriforum said on Wednesday.Its lawyers were studying the proposed amendments and the organisation would be submitting comments, Afriforum deputy director Ernst Roets said.The bill was recently published in the Government Gazette for public comment. Companies found guilty of "fronting" could be fined between two and 10 percent of their turnover if the draft legislation becomes law.

The amendment bill defines black people as "Africans, Coloureds and Indians who are citizens of the Republic of South Africa by birth or descent, or who became citizens of the Republic of South Africa by naturalisation".

The New Age newspaper on Tuesday quoted BEE specialist Andile Tlhoaele as saying that if the legislation became law, white women would no longer benefit from BEE policies. Nor would white disabled people qualify for jobs.

"The further away we move from 1994, the more aggressive the legislation becomes," said Roets.He said BEE legislation dealt only with "outcomes", and not "inputs" such as education. "There is a lack of emphasis on education and training, which would address inequalities," he said. http://www.fin24.com/Economy/Afriforum-slates-BBBEE-bill-20111221
