NEVA MAKGETLA: Skilled people should be encouraged to come to SA

Apartheid laws created a skills shortage to maintain “European” pay for people with qualifications. As a result, SA still has one of the most unequal systems of pay in the world. If we’re serious about tackling this legacy, we should be trying to flood the labour market with skilled people. That is the only way to reduce the extraordinary premiums for qualifications that restrictive laws entrenched before 1994.

Instead, the regulations on work visas for highly qualified people aim explicitly to maintain the apartheid skills premium by restricting visas for qualified foreigners. They in effect use apartheid-era practices to sustain SA’s profoundly inequitable pay systems, even though delinked from overtly racial policies.

Why not employ the white skilled people already here.

Skilled South African people are without jobs because they have the wrong skin color.....

What an amazingly stupid approach! Why don’t these clowns not rather fix the mess here in this country and give SA skilled people a reason to not leave or to return?
