  36. Black involvement in the economy • Management of the Economy predominantly in White hands • Both line and support functions dominated by Whites • Black people are largely in support functions • Even in those support functions, Black people remain largely without authority • Pace of transformation painfully slow

  37. TRAINING • Whites dominate in the middle to upper levels when it comes to receiving training • Generally no purposeful training • Those Blacks who receive training appear to be on perpetual training with no graduation into meaningful career paths .

  38. ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS • Quantum of fines is meaningless and need to be revised upwards • Remedial action to kick in sooner • Specific proposals in the 2nd half of 2007 • Inspectorate has been advised to particularly focus on the Top 100 JSE

  39. SHOULD WHITE WOMEN continue to BE DESIGNATED ? Whereas EAP of White women is 5.5%: • 14.7% of all Top Management positions • 19% of all Senior Management positions • 22.1% of all Professionally Qualified & Middle Management positions
