Race Quotas: Sectoral Targets Consultations

In light of the Employment Equity Amendment Act implemented on 1 January 2025, the Department of Employment and Labour has recently sent out letters to designated employers requesting them to join in the consultation process for the forthcoming sectoral targets and regulations, in each specific sector.

It is of the utmost importance that you, as an employer, participate in this process, as these are the race targets that you will eventually be expected to comply with.

Please find the invitations to these virtual consultations, taking place during February 2025 below:

(Disclaimer: since certain information contained in some of the notices from the Department is seemingly incorrect and confusing, employers are advised to take notice of the heading and date of the invitation.)

Please note that the deadline to confirm attendance is TODAY, 13 January 2025.

Should employers experience any difficulties in registering for their particular sector, or with regard to the participation in the process, please inform NEASA by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

NEASA advocates for the right of employers to appoint as they see fit, without race-based quotas and based on sound business principles and best practices.
