Nonprofit organisations Sakeliga and the National Employer’s Association of South Africa (NEASA) have announced that they will appeal directly to the Constitutional Court to set aside what they believe is a “deeply flawed” judgment by the Pretoria High Court, issued on August 28, after the court refused their application for an interdict against the new Employment Equity (EE) quotas. “In light of this judgment, Sakeliga and NEASA will pursue further countermeasures. We will not stop until this harmful and unjustified State intervention is reversed or rendered moot. Responsible employers should seek to minimise the harm of these absurd regulations,” the organisations said in a joint statement issued on August 29.
