The government is importing hundreds of Cuban engineers and architects, in addition to doctors from Cuba and Tunisia.
One can only despair at the Byzantine machinations of the government. Shortages of skills approach 48% in some departments, leading to a deterioration in essential services to citizens of the country.
However, the government is on record as stating that meeting race quotas is more important than solving the skills crisis, with Eskom a classic example of this.
What conclusions can one draw from the importation of these skills? Will the Cubans and Tunisians be classed as blacks to fill the vacancies created by the cleansing of white skills and thereby fulfil the government’s demographic master plan?
If this is the case, may we then assume that imported Cubans and Tunisians are more desirable than native-born white South Africans?
To name a street in the heart of Durban North after Fidel Castro is a sad affirmation of this fact and intrinsic to the jeering triumphalism of the ANC.
