Manyi biography
Above is the Manyi interview on kykNET

Above is the Trevor Manuel rant.
Now, as the DG of the Dept of Labour, I assume we’re aware that Manyi had to look at Affirmitive Action and how best it can be applied. Oversupply of Coloureds in the WC is a fact in the workplace especially middle management. Similarly in Gauteng senior management is mostly Indian.
Where I’m getting with this “thing” is why would fellow comrades in Luthuli House waited an entire year before reacting to Jimmy? Did they really need the Kuli Roberts comparison to act? Do they really give a damn in the African National Congress what Kuli writes in the Bitche’s Brew?
With the upcoming 2012 ANC tango, I think Manyi has made himself too useful and an easy target. This is another form of load-shedding not dissimilar to the pre Polokwane power-shuffles.
The sad thing about Affirmative Action is that anyone who is employed by (dept of) Labour to monitor has to be aware of numbers of managerial posts per province and how that info can best be utilised to satisfy government’s AA/EE scores. if we as South Africans are not happy with AA/EE and such then we need to vote in a govt which won’t support it, or join the ANC and make a difference from within.
Methinks Jimmy was led to the water for a sip of the good-stuff, only to realise that there are comrades laying in wait for a good old traditional sacrifice by fellow “darkies”
