South African Labour Minister Says Affirmative Action Will Not be Abolished
LABOUR Minister Membathisi Mdladlana has vowed that government will not abolish affirmative action policies despite outcries from sectors of labour organisations and some opposition parties that consider it a form of discrimination against whites.
“Contrary to parliamentary calls by opposition Democratic Alliance (DA), affirmative action and current employment equity legislation will never be repealed but will be intensified instead,” Mdladlana said.
