MINISTER OF LABOURS RESPONSE:
No, I will not consider abolishing Affirmative Action (AA), in the Public Service as the Affirmative Action is not a Public Service Sectoral Determination but a National dispensation. If the Public Service is broadly representative, that should be an inspiration to other sectors and not the reason to abolish the policy.
The preamble of the Constitution sums up the constitutional rationale of the need for Affirmative Action.
