The
Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry has welcomed the new amendments made to
the Employment Equity Regulations when it comes to demographics.
President
of the Chamber Janine Myburgh said the regulations would have forced companies
to appoint members of different race groups to management in the same
proportion as they feature in the national demographics.
Myburgh
said we objected to these on the grounds they were unrealistic and unfair
especially in the Western
Cape where the
coloured population would be severely disadvantaged.
“Now
we are allowed to employ men or women best able to do the jobs regardless of
the race. The operational requirements of the business must come first.” Myburgh
added.
