This is very true. I actually work under two coloured SA’s. They are also killing the game here. One of them is a woman and she just magically created her own position, three weeks ago. We were having trouble allocating payments for some of the infrastructure jobs and she came up with a solution plan herself She is now her “own boss” and got a really big raise. Unfortunately, you don’t see that with black South Africans or Africans in general over here. Many have masters and phds and still being low balled here. I know a man from South Sudan that has 4 degrees from AUT (NZ’s uni) and still works at a grocery store as a floor person. He’s been here for 20 years and has applied to over a 1000 jobs and gone to 100s of interviews. They won’t hire him. About to get a fifth degree too.
This is why it’s vital to create and employ our own.
