The report, which has now been handed over to Labour and Employment Minister Thulas Nxesi, laments the fact that the country still has a long way to go when it comes to transforming the workplace.
The white population still dominates top and senior management positions, despite only making up 9% of Economically Active Persons (EAP).
The report states that 65.5% of top management positions are occupied by white people, while 54.4% occupy senior management positions.
