AfriForum wants to scrap BEE without discussing why Black people were economically excluded in the first place. It wants to oppose land reform without confronting how land was dispossessed. It wants to condemn the Expropriation Act without engaging with the history that necessitates land reform. It wants to talk about farm safety without acknowledging the need for effective rural policing.

These policies did not fall from the sky. They came about because of apartheid historical injustices that remain unresolved. You cannot demand that SA scrap the remedies while refusing to confront the reasons they exist.

And when AfriForum cannot get its way domestically, it takes its political campaign to Donald Trump and lobbies for pressure against its own country.
Why are Afrikaners so eager to have SA abandon transformation, but so reluctant to have an honest conversation about the history and inequality that made transformation necessary?

"I'd prefer to keep my previous compensation records confidential, as they relate to a different employer and a different role. I'm happy to discuss my salary expectations based on the responsibilities of this position, my experience, and current market rates. Could you share the approved salary range for this role?"

Why This Is the Best Answer

1. Protects Your Salary Privacy: You avoid disclosing sensitive financial information unnecessarily.

2. Prevents Salary Anchoring: HR cannot automatically use your previous salary as the starting point for a lower offer.

3. Shifts the Focus to Your Value: Your compensation is discussed in relation to the new position rather than your previous earnings.

4. Demonstrates Professionalism: You establish a boundary without becoming confrontational.

5. Avoids Dishonesty: You don't invent an NDA or falsify financial documents.

6. Encourages Salary Transparency: You ask HR to disclose the approved budget instead of revealing your previous compensation first.

7. Strengthens Your Negotiating Position: You keep the discussion focused on what the employer is prepared to pay for the responsibilities involved.

The Formula Smart Candidates Use

Acknowledge the Request + Protect Confidentiality + Redirect to Market Value + Ask for the Salary Range

1. Acknowledge the Request: "I understand you're requesting my previous payslips."

2. Protect Confidentiality: "I'd prefer to keep my previous compensation records confidential."

3. Redirect to Market Value: "My expectations are based on the responsibilities of this position and the value I can contribute."

4. Ask for the Salary Range: "Could you share the approved compensation range for this role?"

Complete Example:

"I understand the request, but I'd prefer not to share previous payslips because they contain confidential financial and personal information. My salary expectations for this position are between 120,000 and 150,000, depending on the responsibilities and benefits. Could you confirm whether that aligns with your approved budget?"

Why HR Might Ask for Your Previous Payslips

Not every employer requests payslips to exploit candidates. Some organizations use them for administrative purposes, while others may rely on previous compensation when making offers.

1. Verifying Previous Salary: HR may want confirmation of the salary you disclosed during negotiations.

2. Determining Your Offer: They may use your previous earnings as a reference when deciding how much to offer.

3. Checking Employment History: Some recruiters may treat payslips as supporting evidence of previous employment.

4. Following Internal Procedures: The organization may have an established salary-verification process.

5. Assessing Salary Expectations: HR may want to understand whether your expectations differ significantly from your previous compensation.

6. Calculating Salary Increases: Some employers use percentage increases over previous salaries when preparing offers.

7. Reviewing Compensation Components: They may want to understand your basic salary, allowances, bonuses, or other benefits.

8. Controlling Recruitment Costs: A recruiter may be trying to negotiate the lowest salary a candidate is likely to accept.

9. Meeting Specific Verification Requirements: Certain regulated positions or recruitment processes may involve lawful documentation requirements.

10. Following Outdated Recruitment Practices: Some organizations still request salary history even when the information isn't necessary to assess a candidate's qualifications.

Why the Three Options Are Wrong

1. Submitting Your Previous Payslip Immediately

1. Weakens Your Negotiating Position: HR may anchor its offer to your previous earnings.

2. Reveals Sensitive Information: Payslips may contain personal identifiers, deductions, benefits, or financial details.

3. Exposes Previous Underpayment: If you were underpaid, the new employer may use that figure to justify another low offer.

4. Shifts Attention Away From the Role: Negotiations may become focused on what you earned instead of what the new job is worth.

5. May Disclose Unnecessary Third-Party Information: Your payslip may contain details connected to your previous employer's payroll arrangements.

Better Approach:

"I'm happy to discuss my compensation expectations, but I'd prefer to keep my previous payroll records confidential. Could we base the discussion on the salary range approved for this position?"

Important: Providing a genuine payslip isn't inherently wrong. It may be appropriate when required by a lawful process or when you freely choose to disclose it for a legitimate purpose.

2. Saying You Have an NDA

1. May Be Dishonest: Don't claim to have signed an NDA if you haven't.

2. May Invite Further Questions: HR could ask which agreement prohibits disclosure.

3. Can Damage Your Credibility: An invented confidentiality obligation may be exposed.

4. Creates an Unnecessary Complication: You can request privacy without claiming a legal restriction.

5. Distracts From Salary Negotiations: The conversation may shift toward proving the existence of the NDA.

Better Approach:

"I prefer to keep my previous compensation information confidential. I'd be happy to discuss the salary expectations for this role instead."

If you genuinely have a contractual confidentiality obligation, you can accurately explain the relevant restriction.

3. Sharing a Fake Payslip

1. Constitutes Dishonesty: Falsifying employment documents can seriously damage your credibility.

2. May Lead to Rejection: HR could withdraw your application if the document is discovered to be fraudulent.

3. May Result in Offer Withdrawal: An employer may rescind an offer based on material misrepresentation.

4. Creates Potential Legal Risks: Forged documents can have consequences beyond recruitment.

5. Damages Your Professional Reputation: Even a successful negotiation isn't worth the risk of falsifying records.

Better Approach:

"I'd prefer not to provide previous payroll documents. However, I'm happy to discuss my salary expectations and provide appropriate employment verification through an agreed process."

Robin van Persie arrived at Arsenal as a volatile winger and a long term successor to Bergkamp. Wenger recognised his exceptional finishing technique and transformed him into a striker who could score from angles most players wouldn’t even attempt. He eventually produced a 30 goal Premier League season.

Thierry Henry was struggling on the wing at Juventus. Wenger moved him centrally, and he became Arsenal’s greatest ever goalscorer.

Wayne Rooney played as a No. 9, No. 10, winger and central midfielder. He sacrificed personal glory for the team and still retired as United’s record goalscorer.

That is the difference between being talented and being exceptional. Great players don’t need perfect conditions they expand their game.

So stop using Eberechi Eze is playing out of position as a permanent shield against criticism. He can be more effective centrally, but being moved a few yards across the pitch shouldn’t erase his intensity, decision-making or influence.

And I’m tired of hearing that Arsenal must redesign their entire attack to accommodate Viktor. Improve the service, yesbut what is he doing to adapt? His movement, link up play, first touch and ability to create something independently must also improve. At the moment, he is playing like my grandma while everyone demands that ten other players change for him.

Arsenal cannot become tactical hostages to individuals. If Gyokeres and Eze require perfect positions, perfect passes and a perfect system before they can perform, sell them and sign players who can survive discomfort.

players don’t wait for the game to suit them. They force themselves into the game.
