[30 Marks] SECTION A Read the following facts and answer ALL questions that follow: MINISTER SAYS SOUTH AFRICA WILL INTRODUCE STRICTER NEW BEE LAWS TO SPEED UP TRANSFORMATION R Employment and labour minister Thulas Nxesi says that government will need to introduce new regulations to speed up the rate of transformation at businesses in South Africa. Nxesi was speaking to the launch of the Commission for Employment Equity (CEE) annual report, which shows that it will take at least 50 years to see real transformation in the workplaces if the current pace of employment equity implementation in the top echelons is allowed to persist. "The CEE report calls for urgent strategies. It cannot be business as usual. The time has come to re-strategise. Employment equity legislation to date has failed to achieve its intended purpose and objective," he said. "The CEE report is a wake-up call to government that self-regulation by employers to achieve the objectives of EE legislation has not worked. "We now need a more aggressive strategy including a review of legislation. The Employment Equity Bill currently in parliament is a catalyst to expedite transformation in the workplace." "We should never forget that the Employment Equity Act is not only about affirmative action, but also about substantive equality, a matter that seems more prominent in the cases referred to above," said commission chairperson Tabea Kabinde.
