The Employment Equity Amendment Act, 2022, has been gazetted but is not yet in force. According to the Act’s section 16 (short title and commencement), it will take effect on a date to be announced in the Government Gazette.

As SA Legal Academy has already reported, the Employment Equity Amendment Bill’s ‘B’ version was signed into law on 12 April 2023 – having been passed by Parliament in May 2022.

Once operationalised, among other things the new piece of legislation will empower the Minister to:

• set employment equity targets for economic sectors and regions, and
• regulate the compliance criteria to be met when tendering for state contracts.
