NUM unhappy about white Anglo boss

[James]

The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) expressed disappointment on Tuesday about the appointment of Mark Cutifani as Anglo American's new CEO.

The company had failed to appoint either a black or even a white South African woman to lead the global mining company, NUM general secretary Frans Baleni said.

The union also accused Anglo of giving top jobs to foreigners -- Cutifani is Australian -- and of overlooking qualified locals.

I thought that after last years issues we would be more focussed on securing the future of the mine rather than politics.
Can we please stop with racial quotas in SA's biggest industries, its killing us.

Firstly shutup Murph

Secondly What right does NUM have to say who should be appointed in a company that does not even belong to them, I would seriously tell them to go get fscked.

I am pulling in the current affairs news feed from MyBroadband (so I'm a bot for posts like these ).

I thought it would be a convenient way to generate discussion on some other topics. We don't only talk about games, right?

Let me know what you think of the idea.

I don't have a problem with it, although we how politically charged conversations can go. Everything else is cool - this is off topic after all.
Personally, I don't want to see politics on MyGaming, because like a lot of other people, I'm sick to death of SA politics. My 2 cents.

If we are going to have news regularly then we might as well have a section for it.Maybe also a small preview on the side at the home screen.

Das is good plan.

I'm going to see how it goes for a few weeks and if popular we'll consider a separate section. Off Topic makes sense for now.
