"No EFF public representative is allowed to go to a committee and not say anything - it must be illegal and considered dereliction of duty to stay silent in committees."

thats #23

For a second I thought it was the other EFF.

ye

"The EFF is a radical, Left, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movement with an internationalist outlook anchored by popular grassroots formations and struggles.", that's from their "constitution"

>Economic Freedom Fighters, a South African political party

from the EFF DISCIPLINARY CODE: "No EFF member shall commit or participate in conduct, including utterances, which amounts to: - 1.1 bringing the organisation into disrepute"

weeeeeeell

"1.6 promoting discrimination based on race, sex, origin, ethnicity or any other form of unfair discrimination"

one could argue that their demonstration did promote that

alright, I'm done with this shitshow, but it sure is fun to dig into this kind of retardness

It's South Africa, after all. Let them decolonize themselves all the way to the hunter gatherer era. Maybe they can invent the wheel this time around.

fat chance lol

".. a decade of electricity prices increasing by an average of double the rate of inflation"

"[Eskom] needs R20 billion of funding by the end of its fiscal year on March 31" (2018)

"Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in September said the utility was the biggest single risk to the South African economy and that the government needed to replace its management."

and that's just two aspects of the shitshow that is south african infrastructure

Eskom is the _sole_ supplier of electricty to the grid

- they're out of money
- they're required _by new law as of summer 2017_ to employ people in the same distribution as exists in the population, racially, and there are simply not enough black engineers
- there's already rolling blackouts continously in the major cities, the company says there's like 20% of the grid that they can't feed

I think it was something like 80% of the employees of eskom were white, and now they need to not just hire blacks, but actually replace the existing workers

"WPC Kim-Louise Carter was awarded £15,000 after failing a fitness test which involved a 10-mile run, then carrying a dog over a course before running with it a further 100 yards."

wait

money for failing?

for *failing*?

*Re-reads. again.*

"She added how she had “dug deep, real deep” to keep up with men who had moved at a faster pace, adding: “I could lift the dog but had nothing left to carry him. I just couldn’t get any momentum.”"

I DID MY BEST AND IF THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH YOU ARE SEXIST

you know.

reminds me of this British army documentary

or some sort of reality TV series

about recruits

hahaha

yeah I remember that shit

and the females kept failing the jogging thing

<:thisisfine:378719407981199363>

I saw one episode by accident while I was at a hotel in Brisbane

"The judge agreed women were at particular disadvantage compared with men and awarded Miss Carter a total of £14,930 for indirect sex discrimination."

Then Robocop 2 came on afterwards so I had to stay awake for that

so she wasn't _paid_ as such for failing

.......

"women were at a particular disadvantage compared with men"
