The Democratic Alliance (DA) marching against the Employment Equity Amendment Act

South Africa - Cape Town - 26 July 2023 - The Democratic Alliance (DA) is marching against the Employment Equity Amendment Act in Cape Town. The Employment Equity Amendment Act aimed at increasing the employment of black people in South Africa has enraged businesses and liberals who say the legislation could see qualified workers lose their jobs. The new law requires companies with more than 50 employees to submit equity plans reflecting the demography of the region they operate in and set out how they intend to achieve them. It also allows the Labour Minister to set numerical targets for specific economic sectors. Photographer: Armand Hough / African News Agency (ANA)
