South Africa’s new transformation laws are on track – but pending court action is causing some delays.
The Department of Employment and Labour says the new employment equity targets for businesses in South Africa are ready – but it is waiting for court challenges to the new laws to wrap up before it publishes them.
Furthermore, the EE Act requires employers to submit employment equity plans and annual reports on their progress in meeting the targets. “We have also been taken to the International Labour Organization , and we have responded to the ILO. We are eagerly waiting for a legal challenge. Legal challenges help clarify issues of doubt,” Mkalipi said., and then we will start with a new reporting period,” the department said.The union has argued that the new transformation laws are draconian, unconstitutional and lean into racial discrimination by granting power to the minister of employment and labour to set targets based on race.
