It's Topical | COSATU, DA face off over Employment Equity Amendment Act
Employment Equity in the Spotlight.
As South Africa awaits the High Court’s judgment on the Democratic Alliance’s legal challenge to the Employment Equity Amendments Act, the nation grapples with the future of workplace transformation.
Tonight, we unpack the contentious Section 15a, which grants the Minister of Labour authority to set national numerical targets for equitable representation in all economic sectors — a move the DA calls overreach and “social engineering,” while the Minister defends it as essential progress toward redressing historic inequalities.
Joining us on the panel are Advocate Tertius Wessels, managing director at Strata-G Labour Solutions; Karabo Khakhau, DA National Spokesperson; and Zanele Sabela, COSATU Spokesperson. The digital audience also weighs in.
