# The ANC Youth League has condemned attempts by business groups Sakeliga and NEASA to block the Employment Equity Act, set to take effect on 1 September. The Youth League says these legal actions show resistance to economic transformation and racial justice. It argues the Act’s sectoral targets are essential for addressing historical exclusion and rejects the narrative that economic transformation is anti-growth or anti-business. The Youth League is urging the courts to uphold equality and reject efforts to preserve structural privilege.
