    EEC review panel scrutinises Entrepo Namibia's affirmative action compliance

    Investigation

    At an Employment Equity Commission (EEC) review panel hearing, Entrepo Namibia's compliance with affirmative action legislation and its consultations with employee representatives came under scrutiny. The review centred on whether Entrepo had properly consulted its employee representatives before revising its affirmative action figures under section 24 of the Affirmative Action (Employment) Act, a separate issue from the retrenchments disclosed at the hearing. Entrepo awaits the EEC's final decision, due by Friday, as the commission wraps up hearings covering nine employers which did not comply with the affirmative action plan.

    Company response

    • Clarification — Entrepo Namibia

      Entrepo had faced uncertainty over its future while court proceedings were ongoing, making earlier consultations on its changing employment projections difficult, Willers said.

    • The retrenchments, which were concluded by the end of July, emerged during a Employment Equity Commission (EEC) review panel hearing yesterday, where the company’s compliance with affirmative action legislation and its consultations with employee representatives came under scrutiny.
    • However, EEC chief review officer Geaven Mufalali said the proceedings were not about consultations relating to Entrepo’s closure or retrenchments, but whether the company had complied with section 24 of the Affirmative Action (Employment) Act.
    • Entrepo now awaits the EEC’s final decision by Friday as it wraps up its hearings, with nine employers which did not comply with the affirmative action plan.
