"The reason that we focus on employment equity is because we need to address the inequality which is deeply rooted and all statistics show that as SA, we are doing very badly," Nxesi said.
The commission received 27,485 employment equity reports during the 2018 reporting period, covering 7,415,876 employees.
This was up from the 2017 reporting period, where 27,163 employment equity reports were submitted.
"This represented an increase of 320 reports and an increase of 116,447 employees as compared to the 2017 reporting period," the report said.
The majority of the reports came from the private sector (26,113), while the rest came from government, state-owned enterprises and educational institutions.
