Anc Slams Da's Court Bid Against Employment Equity Act

The African National Congress ANC has described the Democratic Alliance's DA court challenge against the Employment Equity Amendment Act EEAA as anti-transformative.

The DA launched a court action against Employment and Labour Minister Nomakhosazana Meth on the eve of International Workers day.

The party, which is a major partner in the Government of National Unity GNU, says Section 15A of the Employment Equity Amendment Act introduces rigid national race quotas in the workplace.

ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula says the DAs hatred for transformation is evident through this court action.

Mbalula says, "We will stand with Cosatu The Congress of South African Trade Unions, the South African Communist Party SACP, and all progressive formations in resisting this desperate assault by the DA."
