SAA has reportedly stopped automatically rejecting applications from white candidates. This was announced on Friday afternoon, after several rejected candidates sought legal action against SAA.
The deadline has also been extended until 31 August to accommodate those young and hopeful candidates whose applications were rejected solely on the colour of their skin.
I hope however, that this does not mean applicants will be filtered out at a different stage based upon their skin colour. One comment on the Fin24 website however suggested that now SAA would now have to accept at least one white cadet, in order to prove that the application process was not biased.
If anybody reading this is interested in applying to SAA for the cadet program, details are here. Good luck.
