Solidarity together with AfroForum had joined forces in fighting against Kubayi-Ngubane’s decision, which they described as “racist”.

Durban - Trade union Solidarity is going to the Supreme Court of Appeal to continue challenging Tourism Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane for making BBBEE criterion to provide financial relief to small tourism businesses affected by Covid-19 pandemic.

“We will continue now with the appeal to the SCA because the Constitutional Court said we cannot get direct access . “Therefore we say that people in need must be the criteria and not the colour of their skin, therefore this is not the stop street.He said despite that white-own tourism businesses had suffered almost the same as their black counterparts, the most affected by the situation were employees “whose majority happen to be black”.

In its ruling, nine Constitutional Court judges said they dismissed the application as it was not in the interest of justice to hear it.
