Threats To Boycott Woolworths!

[Nigel Hamilton]

This is very interesting........ and this article got me thinking, will my children ever get a job in this country.

I am not debating the policies, just a simplistic question....will they get jobs

Yes it is interesting, but not new - I can't remember when last I have seen a white person working for Woolworths.

Well this was actually on our local radio too. I already closed my account with them and don’t support them anymore. I did this when they tried to take a soft drink manufacturer idea and made it their own.
But I have a feeling that you will see more cancelations in the near future. Will our children get work?

Well crappy sucking jobs yes there are tons of those jobs available that actually cost you more to work than anything else, and the pay doesn't justify the financial effort. It is fact and it is a sad situation.

But for a good job that is has a future? No… They will never see the opportunity if they are a minority in this Country this is also fact.

@Nigel - Your children will not get jobs in this country. My youngest daughter wants to become a VET. Friends of ours, whose daughter just finished matric with brilliant grades was turned away from Onderstepoort because their white quota was filled. Both my daughters have been accepted at a good girls high school and I fully expect them to move to the UK or OZ once they have completed matric. I will be happy to see them go because my brother in law is in the UK, my brother in Namibia, my sisterr in OZ and 90% of my and my wife's school friends scattered all over the world.

My youngest daughter asked her teacher (late last week) why there are racial quotas and her teacher said it is because "those other people are stupid"...I for one will not argue with her teacher because I am unable to think of a more suitable answer to give a 11 year old girl born into a so-called "non-racial democratic society"

There is simply no future for a young white person in this country. The only prospect that a young white person has in this country is to study hard and save for a plane ticket to go abroad.....

I've been following the entire Woolworths saga and this is what I have to say to them:

"Woolworths will accept money from a young white male for their vastly overpriced products but they will not let him pack their shelves. No problem, my daughters (who will marry those young white men one day), will spend their, and our money at the corner cafe where young white people are still allowed to work"

In conclusion....a message to this country as I see it looking through the eyes of a young white person growing up today: UP YOURS!

This thread is a bit old but still so relevant!! The day the Woolworths story broke, my family and I decided 'that's it - no more shopping at Woolworths' Since then, they've probably lost quite a few white customers and they've done their utmost to justify their employment policy that that is not what they meant to say and blah blah blah. Another crowd that has seen the last of me is the SANBS! They apparently replaced 2 or 3 elderly white employees after they retired with blacks. When their HR dept was contacted, their response was the same as Woolworths "We don't hire whites anymore" Well after donating nearly 50 pints of blood to them over the years, that's it. Stuff them. If my race is not good for employment then neither is my blood.

I donate very occasionally, I used to go regularly until a Specialist I know told me how any blood donated by blacks was dumped and 99% of the remaining blood was used on Friday and Saturday nights to keep alive drunkards who stabbed, shot one another etc.
He said it would be better if I donated blood directly if one of my relatives needed it?

I don't know if they still dump the blood but I remember a story I read that they even dumped blood donated by former President Mbeki.

The other thing that sticks in my craw is, even if I donate blood I have to pay for it if I have an operation while the SANBS here in EL have a really smart new building built specially for them where they store and distribute the blood from, instead of a cheap warehouse.

That's a change! Used to be the donor (+ dependants?) would receive blood transfusions on the house if they ever needed it. There was a tipping point to qualify, but it certainly wasn't a problem qualifying for a regular donor.

Yeah - that changed some years ago already. I have donated 52 times. Would like to continue in case a life could be saved ... but when politics enters into this kind of thing it stuffs everything up.

I agree with adrianh on this one…

They can take their store/franchise and stick it where the sun don’t shine. If a minority is not good enough to work there then a minority is not good enough to shop there…

Can the management of Foolworths not see who's money they are taking at the till?
