Solidarity and other organisations sign resolution against race law
6 June 202
Solidarity, together with around 30 other organisations today signed a resolution to fight the proposed amendments to the Employment Equity Act. Political parties, including the DA, Freedom Front Plus, ActionSA, opinion makers and other organisations attended this workshop during which the resolution was signed.
In the resolution, the participants involved undertake to reject the government’s system of social manipulation and to protest against the law. This law and its regulations give power to the minister of employment and labour to manipulate the South African society based on their skin colour.
Participants to the programme and discussions included Flip Buys, John Steenhuisen, Pieter Groenewald, Piet le Roux, Gerhard Papenfus, Sihle Ngobese, Renè Govender, Phumlani Majozi and Theuns Eloff.
The Solidarity Research Institute’s (SRI) impact study on the consequences of this legislation was announced during the workshop. This study found that not only will thousands of minorities have to vacate their jobs, but there is also proof about the ill-considered way in which the government went about when drafting this legislation.
