HOU DOP AS ABSA BLANKE WERKNEMERS ONTSLAAN

[André Strydom]

Nadat ons uit Absa-binnekringe inligting ontvang het dat Barcalys en die ANC-regime ‘n samesweringsooreenkoms gesluit het dat Blanke personeel met Swartes vervang sal word as voorwaarde vir Barclays se oorname van Absa, het ons navraag aan Barclays gerig (ons skrywe hier onder saam met antwoord van Barclays U.K.). Alhoewel mnr John Varley, Hoofuitvoerende beampte van die Barclays Bank-groep ontken dat daar geen komplot teen Afrikaners/Blankes is nie, is ons nie oortuig daarvan nie. Mnr Varley sê dat Absa Bank S.A. ‘n onafhanklike maatskappy is met sy eie raad van direkteure onder die beskerming van die S.A. Reserwe Bank. Ons vraag is, hoe kan Absa S.A. onafhanklik wees as Barclays 54% van die aandele besit?

Ons lees in die nuus dat Maria Ramos op die Barclays-groep se uitvoerende komitee dien. Alle beleidsake word deur so ‘n komitee geformuleer. Dus stem ons nie saam dat Absa S.A. onafhanklik kan funksioneer nie.

Daar moet ook gelet word dat Gill Marcus, nuut-aangestelde president van die S.A. Reserwe Bank die vorige hoof van Absa Bank en ook ‘n kollega van Maria Ramos was. Albei was ANC/SAKP-aktiviste, dus is die vooroordeel teenoor Afrikaners ‘n werklikheid.

Mnr Varley beweer: “...employment decisions are based on what the management team determine.” As dit waar is, watter toekoms is daar vir Afrikaners in die bank onder al hierdie vyande? Die laer poste in Absa is reeds deur feitlik net Swartes gevul en mens kom amper nooit meer ‘n ‘n Blanke teller teë nie. Sal die laaste paar Blankes wat oorbly nou ook ‘tereggestel’ word?

En sal ons Afrikaners weer bereid wees om so sterk standpunt in te neem soos toe Eerste Nasionale Bank probeer het om slegs Swart werknemers se kinders onderwysvoordele te laat geniet? Onthou hoe gou het ENB sy wysie verander toe Blankes gedreig het om hulle rekeninge te sluit.

Laat ons waaksaam wees en soos een man reageer indien Absa hulle Blankes werknemers afdank.

Dear Sir

The Afrikaner Volksparty is disappointed to learn from unsubstantiated reports that Barclays in the United Kingdom reached an agreement with the ANC- regime in South Africa with inter alia the following provisions:

a) Barclays UK will purchase the major shareholding in ABSA Bank SA;
b) Affirmative action will be enforced to the detriment of white Afrikaner employees who will be replaced by blacks.

It is said that Barclays had already restructured the lower tiers of the organisation structure by replacing white, predominantly Afrikaners, with blacks.  It would also appear that you have employed, a former ANC-activist mrs Maria Ramos, who incidentally, is a person with no banking background.  Apparently she has now been charged with the responsibility to transform and replace the present white management and supervisory employees with blacks.  We believe that up to 60% of the managerial positions are occupied by white Afrikaners.  Apparently mrs Ramos must complete this transformation process, by your own time table, and without delay.

In order for you to grasp the Afrikaner sentiment involved here we wish to elaborate slightly on the background and history of Volkskas (now called ABSA).  Volkskas was founded by the initiator mr J.J. Bosman and 25 of his colleagues during 1934 when they registered the bank as Volkskas (Koöp) Bpk, a co-operative (Ltd) Volksbank.  After the Anglo Boer war, followed by the First World War and the 1929-1933 depression, Afrikaners were desperately poor.  They did not own businesses of any significance.  Therefore, Volkskas was established to mobilise Afrikaner savings to enable other deserving Afrikaners to acquire businesses and also to improve existing ones.

By the time Barclays had acquired the major share portion of ABSA, the bank had already outgrown all other banks in South Africa.  This is another example how Afrikaners uplifted themselves with no help from outside, as opposed to other races who always rely on others.

Against this background it is shocking to note that Barclays, a bank of international repute, are becoming a conspirator against Afrikaner employees sacrificing their jobs and future as a condition of purchase of shares in exchange for black employment.  We also believe the whole conspiracy was master minded under a veil of secrecy. If so, it undermines the loyalty and integrity of your key personnel.

If the allegations are true, most certainly the Afrikaner should be informed about this. The question must also be asked: Are you still pursuing a war against the Afrikaner people? And if so, why?

We await your urgent reply in this regard.
Yours faithfully
 
A.M. van Rooyen

Dear Mr van Rooyen,

Thank you for your letter of 27 January.

I can confirm that Barclays completed the purchase of a majority stake of nearly 54% of Absa Bank SA on 27 July 2005. The completion of that transaction relied, among other things, on the support of Absa shareholders, 99% of whom voted in favour of it. I can also confirm that the completion of that transaction involved absolutely no agreement regarding employment whatsoever, let alone what you have suggested.

Absa remains an independent South African company, with its own Board of Directors, Chairman and Chief Executive, and operates under the auspices of the South African Reserve Bank. As such, the company must comply with South African law, including employment law. All individual employment decisions by the company are, therefore, taken in the context of those laws and based on what the management team determine is the most appropriate course of action for the long-term success of the business.

Your accusations and assertions with respect to Barclays' intentions and actions are wholly without foundation.

Yours sincerely

John Varley
Group Chief Executive

Miskien is dit die motivering om ons volkseie Oranjekas te ondersteun en weg te kom van die Ingilse gespuis

[Adri van Staden]

Oranjekas se kaart-stelsel behoort nou nie meer lank te neem voordat dit inskop nie. Dan kan almal volledige banksake daar doen. Ek gaan vir seker my ENB-rekening sluit sodra dit gebeur.

[Jopieswan]

Dan wil ek ook iets vra.  Sal ons een of ander tyd in staat wees om debietorders by Oranjekas te laat doen?  Dis een van die belangrikste redes hoekom ek nog net 'n paar betalings deur OK laat doen.  As ek reg is word slegs aftrekorders gedoen, wat beteken dat meeste betalings nog deur jou "groot" bank (ABSA, ENB, Standard) gedoen moet word.  Want meeste instansies (ook Radio Pretoria?) aanvaar (of verkies minstens) die debietorderstelsel. En dus is ek by ABSA gestrand! Help asseblief as ek verkeerd is.

Oranjekas doen d/orders

Totdat die kaartstelsel in plek is, betaal Oranjekas net debietorders van sy eie kliënte aan sy eie kliënte. As jy bv. 'n kliënt is en wil vir die VVK of Radio Pretoria 'n debietorder aanbied, sal Oranjekas dit vir jou doen. Maar as jy bv. jou tv-lisensie ( ) per debietorder wil betaal, sal jy dit d.m.v. Standard Bank moet doen. Wag dus geduldig vir die kaartstelsel en dan sal ons alle banksake by Oranjekas kan doen!

[Jopieswan]

Baie dankie vir daardie inligting.  Ek het nie geweet dat ons betalings aan instansies wat kliënte by Oranjekas is, d.m.v. debietorders kan maak nie. Dit help my baie met beplanning van my finansiële begrotinkie.
