🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.



🇿🇦 In a new Black Economic Empowerment draft, the South African National Roads Agency proposes that petrol stations, restaurants and roadside businesses along national roads must meet race-based ownership and hiring targets. The policy would apply even to private businesses on private land, including those with no SANRAL contracts or funding. It gives SANRAL control over who may operate, what requirements they must meet, how businesses are structured, and introduces levies of up to 10% of turnover.
