'Race Quotas' input required.

‘RACE QUOTAS’
INPUT REQUIRED

Dear employer

The Minister of Employment and Labour, on 12 May 2023, published the draft Employment Equity regulations for public comment.

As contemplated in the recently published Employment Equity Amendment Act (the Act), these regulations set out the numerical employment equity targets for a host of sectors that designated employers (employers employing more than 50 employees) will be required to meet over the next five years. 

No date has been provided as to when the Act will be enacted, but it is expected to be implemented later in the year.

It is NEASA’s considered view that these “targets” are ill-conceived, unconstitutional and practicably impossible to attain.

NEASA will be involved in litigation against this Act and its regulations and will keep employers abreast of developments in this regard.
