The recently proposed amendments to the Employment Equity Act (‘EEA’) created much discussion and concern. The concern arose from both the substance of some of the proposals and the poor manner in which they were drafted.

We are likely to see, at some point in the not too distant future, better considered and drafted proposals for change.
