FORUM ON MINORITY ISSUES
Geneva Switzerland 25.26 November 2014
Presented by:
Andre Fourie — Freedom Front Plus South Africa
Our request is that this Forum on Minority Issues takes serious note of the
attempts by the present South African government to absolutely exclude Afrikaners
in South Africa from freely participating in economic activities in the country since
1994.
Furthermore - to assist in preventing and addressing the structural and systemic
violence and atrocities targeted against a strategic minority that mainly
contributes to job creation, economic growth and prosperity to the entire South
African nation.
In the light of:
The endeavour by the government to exclude Afrikaners (under the generic
and racist label of "white") from the labour force by virtue of the Employment
Equity Act 55 of 1998, as amended, which forces racial affirmative action
quotas onto the public and private sectors that must reflect the national and
regional population demography and thereby seriously diminishing the right
of and opportunity for Afrikaners the majority of whom are skilled - to
participate in the economy, to earn a living wage and to contribute to grow
the economy;
The non-compliance by the government with its own employment equity
rules of demographic representation witnessed by the fact that the
government is continuing to implement affirmative action in the public
service even though the demographic representation targets have been
met, thus excluding Afrikaners from being employed in the public service on
all levels;
The perpetuation and increased central policing of affirmative action by virtue
of the Employment Services Bill (in process of being legislated) which requires
the licensing of all employment agencieS, the compulsory listing of certain
vacancies in the labour market with the State Employment Service, and
accordingly the intervention of the government in any private enterprise
appointments of Afrikaners;
The endeavour by the government to exclude Afrikaners (under the
generic and racist label of "white") from the economy by virtue of the
Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 53 of 2003, as amended,
and its Codes of Good Practice that inserts into the economy as a whole
and forces racial quotas in all public and private enterprise in the form of:
ownership quotas based on race whereby score card points are
achieved for the "blackness" of the enterprise the more "black", the
