Employment policies and practice in the public service: The case for affirmative action

Masters in Public Administration - MPA / South Africa IS apartheid legacy of racial and class inequalities demands drastic and purposeful
intervention. This is necessary because, blacks and women have, for decades, been discriminated against
on the basis of race, gender and disability . Despite the advent of a democratic government, a large
proportion of senior management positions in the public service of South Africa are still occupied by
white, male Afrikaners who, in 1996 constituted 63 per cent of the management echelon. There is a need,
therefore, to introduce a nation - wide , and systematic strategy in the public service to "normalise" this
situation through programmes of affirmative action.
