(c) Approved targets per salary level: EE Plan: 2010-2014
In order to meet the numerical target of 43 569 for DCS as stated in the EEA2, the DCS June 2009 statistics received from National Treasury were used to calculate the projected percentage for 2010 - 2014
Salary Level 3 - 8 : 60%:40% Production level to be aligned with OSD level upon refinement.
Salary Level 9 - 10 : 50%:50% at Junior Management to be aligned.
Salary Level 11 - 12 : 50%:50% at Middle Management also to be aligned.
Salary Level 13 - 16 : 50%:50% at Senior Management remains as per Cabinet approval.
All levels : 2% for People with Disabilities as per Cabinet approval remains.
An Accelerated Leadership Development Programme (ALDP) for women is being developed by Directorate Gender in line with the AA Programme requirement to ensure availability of a pool of women to tap on internally when filling vacant Middle and Senior Management positions. The provision of the ALDP for women will assist also in implementing 50%:50% from salary levels 9 -16.

Formula
Column 3 : approved target as set out in the population estimates.
Column 4 : Status as June 2009.
Line 1 : Actual number for whites: total number of workforce x 9.3% = (41 601 x 9.3 % = 3 869)
: Percentage of white males: total of whites x 60% = (3 869 x 60% = 2 321)
: Percentage of white females: total of whites x 40% = (3 869 x 40% = 1 548)
Column 5 : These are gaps identified
Column 6 - 10: Projected Percentages from 2010- 2014: that is if appointment or recruitment takes place otherwise they will not be realized, however the department must have a plan in place as required by the EE Act.

- At level 13 African Males stand at 63 with a gap of -9 which indicates no African male should be appointed. 24 African Females, 4 Coloured Females and 1 Indian Female need to be appointed at this level.
- At level 14 only 3 African females and 1 white female need to be appointed.
- At level 15 only 2 African female and 1 African Male can be appointed. These calculations are based on 50%:50% in line with Cabinet approval.
Motivation for 50%: 50% target
- In enabling the DCS to successfully execute the "Mandate of Government" which ensures equity at Senior Management level, an "Accelerated Leadership Development Programme" (ALDP) for women is being developed to create a pool of women to tap on internally for filling vacant Senior Management positions.
- These candidates will have to engage in an open competition to ensure that the best candidates from the pool are appointed. Having a sufficient number or pool therefore at ASD and DD level will contribute towards the success of this requirement as contained in the DCS Affirmative Action Programme which focuses on development of women and all other previously disadvantaged groups.
- Women in junior and middle management also need to be coached and appointed as protégés to certain critical positions that were previously male dominated such as Heads of Centre, Area Commissioner and Parole Board Chairperson.
- Coaching of all previously disadvantaged groups in areas that are still mainly manned by White colleagues particularly in Regions such as Logistics, Information & Technology, Maintenance- Workshops, Agriculture, etc is also imperative as one of the endeavors that would ensure substantive equality within the organization.
