The court case that began on Tuesday in the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria and lists Minister of Employment and Labour Nomakhosazana Meth as the first respondent.

In its court papers as the applicant, the DA said the amendments replace a context-sensitive approach with a rigid, one-size-fits-all system of minister-determined targets. Non-compliance could result in severe penalties.
