Beyers Chocolates employs more than 400 people, three-quarters of whom are black women.

The company doesn’t only make only chocolate, it also packages and manufactures chocolate for airlines, hotels and large retail groups under different trademarks.

The department said the number should be reduced to reflect provincial demographics in Gauteng, where only 36.2% of residents are black women. Beyers, who was born in Belgium, started his chocolate business more than 30 years ago. He came to the country to visit his sister and decided to stay. Arnott said he had invited the labour inspector, Thabo Masenya, to walk through the factory to get a better understanding of the nature of the work.

Confirmarion of govt interference in business. Investors do not invest in countries where the govt have prescriptive quotas, the colour of management, ownership and the number of blacks employed. Investors invest to make a profit and employ competent persons regardless of color.

Mbulaheni_R Do they employ any local Southern African (San, KhoeSan, Capoid) women?

Making business difficult as usual

I don't believe this article, unless if the company is wmploying white women only.

This nanny state BS needs to stop. STOP impeding local businesses, make policies that encourage entrepreneurs and employers, In other words DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE.

🤣🤣🤣

What utter bullshit.

Who's going to give those women the bad news?

🤣🤣🤣🤣. I give up

Unbelievable stupidity....no wonder we are in an economic shitstorm!

O my donner. Nou is die swart vroue ook te 'Wit'.... Magtig volgende week mag boere net swarte varke aanhou .... ?

Bwhahaha go woke go broke

Communist gov is slowly sending SA the Zim way.

WTF ? Sexiest, bigoted and xenophobic ! It that how the Dept of Labour functions ?

Very easy, they should own 40% of the mines and other key minerals resources, which includes gas and oil.

This is just insane

That's interference from government that should never happen. We live in a democracy, not a communist state.

MyANC policies: the world cannot stop laughing at these amateurs who made a complete fkup of Africa's Nr 1 economy ... & waiting for it to implement Stage 2 Zim-style land-grabs so that it can finally shut-off all foreign investment, demote it to junk & implement sanctions

This is bizarre but I suspect there is more to it than meets the eye.

Are you actually kidding? Insanity of the highest level.

Maybe they are in wrong country that promotes male corporate dominance...

The labour department have no clue what they are doing. Officials have told me they have targets to meet!!! What must they do They are not employed to THINK for gods sake!! 😱😱😱😱
