Question NW2925 to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
22 September 2015 - NW2925
van der Merwe, Ms LL to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether his department meets the Government’s 2% employment equity target for the employment of persons with disabilities that was set in 2005; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Office of the Chief Justice received its own budget vote with effect from 1 April 2015. I can report that to date the employment equity rate for the employment of persons with disabilities in the Office of the Chief Justice is at 1.2% which is below the national target of 2% by 0.8%.
