Johannesburg – Discussion on whether to abolish or maintain the Employment Stock Amendment Act.
The law was introduced to address historical disparities and promote fair expression in the workplace.
This has been a controversial issue for years.
In 1998, South Africa signed the Employment Equity Act, which was later amended to the Employment Equity Amendment Act (EEAA) on April 12, 2023.
Despite their intended purpose, many people have questioned the implementation of the EEAA, with some claiming that they prioritizing certain group of groups of groups of groups.
Now, ENCA's social media platform is buzzing with viewers' questions about the Democratic Alliance, which will bring the EE Amendment Act to the High Court.
“Why is the black-controlled government sector failing? President Ramaphosa said in his SONA speech that local governments are failing due to lack of technical skills.
The ANC needs to fix the actual skill issues that are lacking in skills among black people in the country.
In many cities and towns across the country, roads are not maintained, water and electricity supply is often destroyed, waste is not collected, and sewage runs on the streets.
Partly because many municipalities lack the technical skills and resources needed to meet the needs of people,” says @ISH18_E in X.
@fireyfastfreddy believes the DA did the right thing by challenging the act in court. “It's legal. I think it's dangerous trick to employ certain groups and compose numbers.”
Grinis Salzer Say it on Facebook “Unemployment rates prove that it's not working, just like lack of financial growth, investment, etc..”
“This act is useless either, because even if you're not qualified or connected, you're not hired. They're just bluffing us with a nice, useless act,” says Bra Charlie of Facebook..
But X's @gabojust said, “Race remains a highly recharged topic in our country 30 years after white minority domination. The DA leadership and party have a reputation for defending the white minority interests it denied.”
@Luckymaake4 of X said, “What the DA wants to achieve comes at the expense of many things and the previously underprivileged. For our history, what has been implemented will disappoint previously underprivileged and previously advantageous. It is difficult for everyone to be satisfied.”
Explain his understanding of the lawManix Sanga Muyara I said it on Facebook,'To my own understanding, employment equity is a mechanism of balancing between oppressed people and oppressors. Can you tell me that other systems are in place to raise the oppressed? ”
The DA is challenging the constitutionality of the new draft employment equity goals.
This amendment is proposed in the recent Official Gazette Employment Equity Amendment Act.
The parties argue that earlier versions of the EE Act have a proper balance between promoting change and protecting the rights of unspecified groups.
It says that the previous EE Act was a flexible, prohibited assignment, allowing employers to target based on specific circumstances.
The DA states that the draft bill was incorrectly tagged and should be declared invalid.
The Employment and Labor Department presents state lawsuits and defends the changes.
