15 November 1994
The Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) White Paper, which was put before the parliament, called for an expeditious programme to ensure that the civil service is more representative in terms of ethnic group and gender. It also proposed the use of affirmative action to reverse imbalances that existed in the public service and further called for a review of the present rules governing qualifications.
