Note

The Department of Labour published three green papers in the 1990s, but did not publish white papers; instead it drafted legislation, which resulted in the promulgation of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998 and the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 53 of 2003.
