The impact of employment equity legislation on land reform delivery within the provincial land reform office of the department of rural development and land reform in the Western Cape
Abstract
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of Employment Equity
Legislation on land reform delivery within the Provincial Land Reform Office of the
Department of Rural Development and Land Reform in the Western Cape Province.
In order to achieve this goal the researcher conducted a literature search of relevant
books, journal articles, academic papers, news paper articles, legislation and subordinate
legislation, policy documents, official reports, other applicable published and
unpublished research materials.
In conjunction with the literature search, the researcher developed a survey
questionnaire to establish whether employment equity legislation does have a
negative impact on land reform delivery within the provincial land reform office in the
Western Cape. The survey was conducted arnonqst 60 employees within the
Provincial Land Reform Office in Cape Town, including the District Offices of the
Provincial Office. Fifty four (54) responses were used in the analysis, which represent
a 90% rate of return. Based on the findings of the literature study and the empirical survey, 51.9%
respondents' are of the opinion that the implementation of employment equity
legislation does have a negative impact on land reform delivery within the provincial
land reform office of the Western Cape.
The researcher recommends that the department should consider using provincial
demographics when employing staff within its provincial offices to ensure a more
stable workforce. This is a true reflection of the responses as the majority of the
respondents (81.5 %) agreed that Employment Equity (EE) targets should be based
on provincial demographics rather than national demographics, whilst 13% of the
respondents disagreed with this statement. Seventy seven comma eight percent
(77.8 %) of the respondents also agreed that EE should reflect the target market
being served. This will go a long way to foster good employer - employee
relationships.
