Prejudice and segregation

After making an application to acquire a truck from the Truck Store, which is operated by MBSA, we were first posed with the following questions seeing that it's our first unit and also an attempt to better our quality of life:

Questions: - Client is a salaried Employee. What is her involvement in the daily operations of the transport business - Letter from Employer confirming that the transport business has been noted and in line with their employment policies - What is the client's experience in the transport industry - How many units does the client currently have - What is the nature of the business - Does the client have any formal contracts - Who are the clients debtors

Which we provided answers and attachments to prove our ability to carry out the work. The application was the declined due to the following: No comfort in client not involved in the Daily Operations of the Business No traceable track record on commercial assets This will be the clients first unit Credit risk is not acceptable.

Bear in mind we did mention that we will be dealing with the business on day to day, the sad part is that the fact that we can afford the unit is of no relevance, meaning that something is fishy. If I were to go to MBSA and wanting to buy a car, id be afforded the car, because I can afford, whats the difference between a truck and a car, they are both vehicle or is this a way of keeping the gates closed for the majority race to not be in the business which is predominately caucasian?

This type of injustice makes what looks like a fair and equal South Africa very discriminatory.
