June 2006 Since the end of apartheid, thousands of white South Africans have been forced into poverty. They blame the government's positive discrimination policies, which favour black employees. Twelve years ago, Afrikaners like Betsie Dreyer lived a privileged and cocooned life. Now, many are dependent on charity handouts. "We are fighting all the time to survive." The government is determined to see the workforce appropriately reflect the population. It gives black people priority in employment, sets 'black quotas' for businesses and favours companies owned by black people. But critics accuse the government of neglecting its responsibility to white citizens. As union rep Kallie Kriel states: "It's ironic that a government that fought racial laws is now doing exactly the same thing."

belonged to aboriginies?? well then we should all start back at africa then if we ALL have to go home. And yes you have a point about how they should get off their asses but dont forget animosity fromthe black people there trying to do the whole get back. I will send you what an Aboriginal posted on the wall from a topic about Aboriginals in Australia and about the free stuff they get.

Australia is the only DEVELOPED COUNTRY to be condemned racist by the United Nations. Have a think about that! I'm not implying that you are racist but your argument about aborigines doesn't hold up considering your countries situation.

LOL, We have the same thing here in America for Native Americans. U forget that Australia belonged to the Aborigines so it's only fair. Being black is not a crime neither is being white.U forget that these poor whites R just as incompetent as the poor blacks So why should we feel any different about their situation just because they R white..retarded...I'm white and I don't feel sorry for any of them..they should get off their asses and work instead of waiting for the government to care for them

treating the abos like crap lol what a laugh they cost over 4 billon a year with handouts totalling 48,000 ( more than the average wage )per aboriginal. You have no clue. They get it all and just sniff or drink it away , so while other aussies have to work thier asses off they just get paid for being black and incompetent. Have a think about it.

this lady interviewing is such an idiot...the man was right..the concern should be focused on poverty period...not on pigmentation...here she is complaining about whites when clearly 80-90 percent of the poor population is black...LOL...Australian interviewer, how ironic of her to judge South Africans in that manner when Australians are treating the aboriginal natives like crap...and they say we WHITE AMERICANS are the racist

hahahah are these people for real...surely they can't complain with people like CHARLIZE THERON making big bucks...and almost all the people i know from south africa are all White Rich South Africans...just because whites become poor or black becomes poor, doesn't make a difference...they are all people..who cares about the color of their skin...
