DA takes government to court over Employment Equity Act! The Democratic Alliance is again taking the government to court, but this time to challenge the Employment Equity Act.
The party’s labour and employment spokesperson, Michael Bagraim, said the party will be heading to court to challenge the law next week.

It’s destroying businesses, it’s destroying investment and has not worked as legislation for 25 years.”
