With reference to its previous direct requests, the Committee takes note of the information contained in the Government's report and of the attached legal texts and court decisions.

1. In particular it notes the protection against discrimination contained in article 23(4)(c) of the Constitution and the Government's indication that there are no laws which establish differential treatment on any of the grounds listed therein, as set out in article 23(3) of the Constitution, on matters directly or indirectly covered by the Convention. Noting that the Industrial Relations Act No. 36 of 1990 repeals and replaces the Industrial Relations Act, 1971, and provides (in section 129(2)) alleged victims of discrimination on grounds of race, colour, sex, marital status, religion, political opinion or affiliation, tribal extraction or social status with a complaint procedure before the Industrial Relations Court, the Committee asks the Government to provide information in future reports on any cases brought under this provision.

2. Noting that the Government supplies statistics on the range of vocational and technical courses and enrolment according to sex, and not information on measures taken to encourage women to enrol in such courses oriented towards developing skills in fields traditionally dominated by men, the Committee requests the Government to supply in its next report such statistics and information so that it may follow the progress achieved in promoting equal opportunities for women in vocational training.
