SCA judgment of key directional importance─── 07:49 Sun, 04 Dec 2016
Bloemfontein - Solidarity Chief Executive, Dirk Hermann, says the SCA judgment that found racial quotas to be unconstitutional and irrational, is of key directional importance for South Africa as far as transformation and equality are concerned.
According to a statement from the union, the Supreme Court of Appeal found that government was guilty of unfair racial discrimination and that this was a grave charge against a government that wants to use legislation to criminalise racism.
In the judgment, the Supreme Court of Appeal judges write that remedial measures must operate in a progressive manner assisting those who, in the past, were deprived of opportunities.
However, such measures must not unduly invade the dignity of those affected by them.
