Melanie Meyers in her letter (Star Letters of today, "I agree with
Julius Malema on labour brokers") makes a breathtaking extrapolation on
the basis of a single incident of which she doesn't even know the facts! The sales assistant was, she says, "in
all probability" placed by a labour broker. Shouldn't she at least have made sure about
this instead of assuming it? From this
assumption she draws a conclusion about a whole industry! With such a vast generalisation based on such
incomplete research, should she go to Mr Malema for lessons in logic?
