South Africa’s second biggest political party launched a legal challenge on Tuesday against a new labour law aimed at boosting the hiring of historically marginalised groups in some industries, arguing it is unconstitutional, discriminatory and could dampen foreign investment. The challenge by the Democratic Alliance, takes aim at amendments to the Employment Equity Amendment Act that went into effect in January. Intended to force companies to diversify their staff, the new laws have divided the country’s unity government. Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi was joined by General Secretary of SAFTU, Zwelinzima Vavi and Labour Lawyer and DA Spokesperson on Labour, Michael Bagraim.
