Employment Equity Debate: IRR Raises Concerns Over New Race-Based Regulations by Radio Islam

With Sakeliga's launch of a critical legal challenge to reverse harmful state overreach and BEE in the property sector, its CEO Piet Le Roux warns that the business interest group will have “more and more concurrent cases on these critical matters, not only on BEE in the property sector, but BEE in competition law, BEE in health products” - and is building “a wonderful case” against the NHI. “We're going to take this Employment Equity Amendment Act, which is very harmful in itself. It's being prepared for implementation later this year.” Sakeliga also opposes government plans for a R100 billion Transformation Fund. “… they've just effectively announced that they want to have another extortion racket where they want to put money in a government fund. It's a direct attack on white businesses, and it's going to be very harmful for everyone in this country through a multiplier effect that we've already seen in the public sector and we must prevent this from happening in the private sector.”

These amendments will have significant implications for larger employers or those who seek to do business with the State. Certain of these changes are likely to impact all employers, however, the majority of the changes are of specific importance to employers employing more than 50 employees (i.e. designated employers). Melissa Cogger, a Partner at Bowmans, explained that once sectoral targets are finalised, designated employers must review their employment equity plans to ensure their goals align with these targets or provide A reasonable justification if they do not.

Former Cosatu Unionist and political analyst Dr. Ebrahim Harvey says provisions in the Employment Equity Amendment Bill of 2020  were designed by the ANC-led government to influence the outcome of the 2024 national elections and feels the bill will not pass constitutional muster. The government says the amendment bill seeks to advance the transformation of South Africa's workforce by setting equity targets for economic sectors and geographical regions. But critics say the Bill in its current form goes against labour laws and categorises citizens along racial lines. The proposed Bill is being challenged by several organisations including the Democratic Alliance and trade union Solidarity.

Outrage Over Draft Targets Of The Employment Equity Amendment Act by Radio Islam

The DA is preparing to challenge the draft Employment Equity Amendment Act in the constitutional court. The party says the draft Act which was published for public comment last week, categorizes South Africans along racial lines. The DA says it is particularly outraged by the effect the proposed "racial quotas" would have on colored and Indian citizens. Trade union Solidarity has since served President Cyril Ramaphosa with court papers after he signed the Employment Equity Amendment Bill of 2020 into law last month. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Labour law expert Michael Bagraim

What is the economic cost of LGBTI+ exclusion? Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex or Questioning (LGBTI+) people are among the most marginalised and excluded groups but what does this mean for business around the world? This podcast examines the opportunity that fully inclusive organisations can offer. Listen in to hear from Social Impact Pioneers and leading voices on LGBTI+ inclusion: Lee Badgett and Ricardo Garcia Tafur. Lee is a professor of economics and co-director of the Center for Employment Equity at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and has recently authored ‘The Economic Case for LGBT Equality'. Her research and writing focus on economic inequality for LGBTI people, including wage gaps and employment discrimination. Ricardo is a regional financial inclusion specialist for the International Finance Corporate (the IFC), part of the World Bank. He's an economist specialised in international development with more than 25 years of global experience on issues related to financial inclusion, and provision of financial services to unserved and underserved segments, such as women & LGBTI+, migrants and refugee populations. As of November 2022, 33 of the 195 countries in the world, recognise same sex marriage. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex or questioning (LGBTI+) people are treated differently around the world. During this podcast conversation Lee and Ricardo show was how businesses can navigate these differences, empowering us all to make a positive difference. Lee explains: “Every country is an emerging country when it comes to LGBTI inclusion.” They talk personally about their experiences and practically how businesses can help LGBTI+ people to be their best at work. Together they examine how businesses can engage with suppliers, civil society and governments to increase inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and questioning people, communities and family members. Together they talk about the business case and benefits of a fully inclusive business environment - Ricardo summarising: “There are companies that are attracting the best talent by recruiting and supporting LGBTI people at all levels. There are companies expanding their markets to include LGBTI people and there are companies attracting investment because of their LGBTI inclusion.” Listen in to hear more about the opportunities that full inclusive organisations can offer and how to make inclusive organisations a reality.

South Africa's employment equity laws are set for a major shake up. The National Council of Provinces recently passed the Employment Equity Amendment Bill. The Bill is in its final stage of promulgation as it has been sent to the President for signing. The Bill will amend the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998. The bill promises a shake-up of the country's existing employment equity laws and will give the minister of Employment and Labour the power to speed up transformation in specific business sectors. It does this by empowering the minister to set sector-specific employment equity targets across most of South Africa's major industries. But many businesses say this will have the opposite effect and indeed retard growth and employment However, mere compliance "box- ticking" with these requirements will not produce an inclusive, thriving economy with sustainable empowerment. The precursor to this is quality education and skills development and of a course economic growth To discuss the EE Bill Michael Avery is joined by The Chief Director of labour relations for the Department of Employment and Labour Thembinkosi Mkalipi; CEO of Global Business Solutions, Jonathan Goldberg, a leading voice in Labour Law, Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment and Gerhard Papenfus, CEO of The National employers Association, NEASA…

Loran and Jenny host a focus group with four White men who share their experiences of race and racism in the US today. When was the last time you heard a White man talk about what it means to be a White man without supremacy or shame? Are any stereotypes or tropes outdated? What are we getting right?
