Question. Why should the "racial composition of the workplace" reflect the South African population? This is such a far fetched idea. If a Xhosa opens a business in the Eastern Cape, must he forcibly employ "whites". And if an Afrikaner has a business in Venstersburg in the Free State, must he be forced to employ Sothos? (Yes, I also address this partly in your article) So because blacks generally procreates more, they should be represented more in the workplace? This is not rocket science. As you stated in the end of your article, it only adds fuel to the fire.
Seems to me the transformation goals, as the primary target of the Employment Equity Bill, has become more complicated. I ask myself what do we know about the performance of highly transformed organisations in SA? The answer is rather mixed, while we know some success stories (some private sector companies, SARS, etc.), we also see evidence of severe problems (the Post office, Eskom, SAA, etc). Thus, it seems transformation management is becoming even more challenging.
