Bidvest Faces Outrage Over Racially Exclusive Bursary Policy Targeting White Children

Outcry Grows as White Minorities Demand Justice Amid Discriminatory HR Policy

Bidvest, a prominent South African conglomerate, is under fierce criticism for its 2026 school bursary program that cruelly excludes White minority children, leaving them unfairly sidelined.

Trade union Solidarity has rightfully condemned this as “racist,” vowing legal action, including litigation and a complaint to the South African Human Rights Commission, to defend these wronged children.
