[The Times Live] The latest South African Survey by the SA Institute of Race Relations shows that the military plans to employ more whites and fewer blacks.The defence force admits there is a shortage of white personnel but says its recruitment drives are not based on racial quotas.
The survey shows the department's employment equity targets are changing:
The black employment target from the current 72% to 65%;
Coloured employment from 13% to 10%;
Indian employment will remain at 1%;
The target for whites will increase from 14% to 24%.
The Institute of Race Relations figures are based on information contained in the defence department's annual report and on its own calculations.
It's going to be very difficult Andre, but we've simply got to find someone who knows how to READ to fly this damn thing !
