This Act is aimed at redressing the wrongs of the Apartheid era and ensuring that employment is not racially based. It does this by trying to ensure that companies above a certain size (with more than 50 employees) employ people in direct proportion to their representation in the population. Designated employers are required to give the Department of Labour a plan by which they intend to achieve employment equity during the next five years. There are obviously complications with this since some areas have different numbers of black, coloured, Indian and white people - like the Western Cape.
