Cape Town - An argument over whether coloureds received the same discrimination as blacks during apartheid became emotional in the Labour Appeal Court in Cape Town on Thursday.
The court, sitting in the Western Cape High Court, was hearing an appeal by the correctional services department, which argued that its Employment Equity (EE) plan was sound and constitutionally valid.
The department was appealing a 2013 Labour Court ruling that it consider both national and regional demographics in recruiting and promoting staff.
