I really think the resignation was an overreaction. This is not to make light of the case, I disagree totally that such a cd should be played. Nevertheless, I believe that the CEO's job is to steer a company through difficult times and if this is the most difficult time the company has been through, the CEO should be firmly at the helm, even if he is regarded by the union as part of the problem. (In fact I would say that a union, by definition, always regards management of a company as part of the problem) I also want to challenge the statement that the cd called Madiba the K word. If I am to understand reports, they say that the word and the name of Nelson Mandela were both used in the song, which weakens the emotional response. Let's move past the blinkers that are racism, guys. Let's look at the ethics and the logic of a decision to "resign with immediate effect"....

If only people in govt will resign when they mess up. But no, they get a slap on the wrist and continue in their job.

It is just a pity that not more persons in powerful positions are prepared to do the same.

It seems that only white people can be racist if a black person insults a white it is fine.

O please ...

Good move, lucky you did not go to jail. Please tell us who owns the CD ?
