If that were the case, there would not be a case before the court at this moment because people have had to approach the court to fight to be appointed.
Clearly the facts stipulate the following: Between 6 September 2011 and 3 February 2013, 97% of all the people appointed in this department were black people. I must try to explain what I mean when I say that, because the ANC uses terminology as it suits them. In terms of the ANC's terminology it would mean African people. However, that too is wrong because we are all African.
In terms of the ANC's definition, we are talking about ethnic black people - 97% of all appointments. That means the minorities, for example, the coloured communities in the Western Cape, are excluded even though they make up more than 50% of the population in this province.
In terms of the national demographics being used by the departments, their numbers will have to be reduced in the Western Cape to 9%. That is exactly why they have gone to court and we will have to watch and see what happens in that regard because, at this stage, you are discriminating against minorities.
You are basically busy with social engineering in South Africa, which supposedly is unacceptable. I was under the impression that we have moved way beyond race classification and those kinds of things.
