### The Department of Employment and Labour called for public comment on the Draft Employment Equity Regulations 2023

    - The new section 15A introduces sectoral numerical targets.
    - The purpose of this addition is to ensure the equitable representation of 
      people from designated groups (historically disadvantaged groups of people
      based on race, gender, and disability) at all occupational levels in the workforce.
    - The amendment empowers the Minister of Employment and Labour (Minister) to
      identify national economic sectors for purposes of the administration of the
      EEA and set numerical targets for each such sector.

## Have your say – shape the amendment. [CLOSED]

This after the DA and rights groups accused the Department of Employment and Labour
of trying to sideline Coloured and Indian workers. The ANC and Cosatu dismissed 
the claim, saying the official opposition is misrepresenting the proposals. The 
department published the regulations for comment after President Cyril Ramaphosa
signed the Employment Equity Amendment Bill of 2020 into law last month.

Michael Bagraim discussed the devastating impacts this bill could have with Julie
Alli from Salaa Media
