Labour on release of Employment Equity Report to M Mdladlana by J Manyi

[Dave A]

Just an aside:

Marq - I think you are amplifying myths. BEE & BBBEE could not have cost you your job as these policies only look at "ownership".

That was narrow based BEE. B-BBEE was supposed to stop that narrow scope and we've now got 7 areas that are assessed. Still heavily weighted towards ownership, but it does cover other relevant stuff.

By the way white women are "black" too, so black in these policies means PDI as opposed to race.

I believe that has come to an end too, although I'll be delighted to be corrected.

However, as you say - we're dealing primarily with EE here.

But you can only remove the policy when the will is evident.

I think most of the buggers without the will have left. We're approaching a chicken and egg situation - something/someone has got to break the cycle.
