Improving the employment equity profile of the SIU

Designated groups overall make up just under 71% of the total number
of employees. Black African staff increased from 7% to 36%.
The SIU’s equity profile in respect of black African managers increased
from 7% in 2001 to 13.5% in the year under review.
The SIU still has some way to go in improving the employment equity
of its management, but it has made progress in comparison to previous
years. Designated groups now make up 48% of management compared
to 14% in 2001.
The largest equity challenge is the employment of women, specifically
Africans, within management. Although progress has been made in
the past four years, for example, increasing the number of female
managers from 7% to 24%.
