# Business groups Sakeliga and the National Employers’ Association of South Africa, NEASA, have slammed the new Employment Equity Amendment Act as unconstitutional, impossible, and harmful. They argue the sectoral numerical targets amount to unlawful race-based quotas that could destroy economic value. This adds to the DA’s legal action claiming the law violates equality rights. Government insists the targets are flexible, aiming for equity. Sakeliga and NEASA plan a joint legal action, warning of deep economic and social damage if the law is enforced.
