Abstract
The South African apartheid regime brought about many injustices. These
injustices were mostly directed at people of colour, women and people with
disabilities. People with disabilities were neglected, discriminated against and
largely marginalised.1 A person is considered as having a disability in terms of
the Code of Good Practice on the Key Aspects on the Employment of Persons with
Disabilities,2 if they have a physical or mental impairment, which is a long term
or recurring impairment and which significantly limits their prospects of entry
into or any advancement within the workplace.
