Black people have assimilated to white people, says Lerato Tshabalala

The extract from Tshabalala's book, The Way I See It: The musings of a black woman in the rainbow nation, which was first published in the Sunday Times delved into 'black service delivery.'

In the extract, Tshabalala detailed why she prefers to give white people jobs over black people.

The extract in which Tshabalala revealed 'why I hire blue eyes before black guys,' raised more than a few eyebrows.

Speaking to DJ Sbu on Vuma FM on Tuesday morning, Tshabalala stood by the comments made in her book.

"The book is not only about black service providers. It's about sex, love and relationships among other things. The extract that was published is a 800 word extract that is a part of a 2000 word chapter. So what you lost is 1400 words of context explaining how I got to that conclusion. The book has 17 chapters and is about having a constructive discussion," she explained.

Tshabalala added that issues that are brought up in her book cannot be ignored.
