Strategic Outcomes

Quarter 3 Activity Report

Way Forward / Recommendations: • Continuous monitoring of the implementation of the NSP. • The conference resolved that C9 institutions and particularly the CGE should be strengthened and capacitated to discharge its monitoring and oversight duty. Employment Equity Commission Stakeholder Engagement – 23 November 2022: • Stakeholder engagement on Equal Pay / Remuneration for Work of Equal Value. Way Forward / Recommendations: • This was an important engagement both for the CGE as an employer and an overseer of the protection, development and attainment of gender equality everywhere including in the workplace. • In support of the SO4 the CGE should review its workplace policies such as remuneration and job evaluation policies in accordance with the EE Act and codes of good practice. Hearing of complaint by Ms Cupido against the employer, the Sol Plaatjie Municipality – 06 October 2022: • In accordance with the CGE mandate, to investigate a workplace sexual harassment complaint. Way Forward / Recommendations: • The hearing concluded the matter. No further action is required. Monitoring the Mkhonza case – 24 October 2022: • CGE has been monitoring this case since it was reported in November 2020. • The case is about a domestic worker who was attacked by the son of her employer also calling her a “keffer”. The domestic worker, MaMkhonza also lost her job. This is therefore a case involving GBV, racism and worker rights. Way Forward / Recommendations: • Commissioners Mazibuko and Ngoma-Diseko have been attending since it started in 2019. The CGE ideally should attend such cases as amicus curiae, but this has been hindered by the lack of registration with the PLC, a matter which is currently being attended.

Strategic Outcome 2: To promote and protect gender equality through

public awareness, education, investigation, and litigation.
