Question NW2069 to the Minister of Employment and Labour
05 June 2023 - NW2069
Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Employment and Labour
(1)What are the detailed statistical methodologies that were used in establishing the racial benchmarks under the Employment Equity Amendment Bill [B14-2020]; (2) whether the methodologies were subjected to rigorous scientific validation to ensure their reliability and accuracy; if not, why not; if so, what are the details of the outcomes of such validation processes?
Reply:
- Hon. Cardo, fortunately we no longer have the racist apartheid government that use to establish the racial benchmarks. Secondly, there is no Employment Equity Amendment Bill [B14 – 2020] that is currently deliberated in Parliament.
- Given what is outlined in (1) above, the second part of your question falls off!
