The chairperson of the Employment Equity Commission, Jimmy Manyi, has been given a red card on Wednesday at the Aardklop Arts Festival by Solidarity deputy general secretary, Dr Dirk Hermann; for his statement that South African workers will make Zimbabwe look like a Sunday school picnic.
“He was also given a red card for calling black empowerment partners ‘house niggers’ who cover up the abuses of their white partners,” says Hermann.
At a discussion of his book The Naked Emperor-Why affirmative action has failed, Hermann handed Manyi ten red cards for ten racial statements and practices that undermine the integrity of the Employment Equity Commission.
“Manyi was also given a red card because he uses the Employment Equity Commission to promote the agenda of the Black Management Forum,” says Hermann.
Hermann cautioned that Manyi is promoting his own elite interests through the Employment Equity Commission.
