Boksburg - Whites still dominate South Africa’s top management positions, a Employment Equity Commission report revealed on Thursday.
The 13th edition of the report shows whites constituted 72.6 percent of top management positions in the country last year, down from 81.5 percent in 2002.
The report reflects the public and private sectors.
Blacks occupied 12.3 percent of top management positions in 2012, compared to 10 percent in 2002.
Commission chairman Dr Loyiso Mzisi Mbabane handed the report to Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant during a Transformation Indaba in Boksburg, on the East Rand.
Coloureds occupied 4.6 percent of top management positions in 2012, compared to 3.4 percent in 2002; and In Indians 7.3 percent, from five percent.
The number of foreigners in top management positions in 2012 was 3.1 percent, compared to zero in 2002. However, this was because the labour department started collecting this data only in 2006. - Sapa
