The Minister of Employment and Labour, on 12 May 2023, published the draft Employment Equity regulations for public comment.

As contemplated in the recently published Employment Equity Amendment Act (the Act), these regulations set out the numerical employment equity targets for a host of sectors that designated employers (employers employing more than 50 employees) will be required to meet over the next five years.

No date has been provided as to when the Act will be enacted, but it is expected to be implemented later in the year.
