6.1. The main challenges faced by black practitioners, especially black women, as a result of historical inequalities are:
6.1.1. inadequate access to a sustainable flow of quality work from the private sector;
6.1.2. discrimination by the private sector in terms of procurement of specialised work;
6.1.3. inconsistent briefing patterns from organs of state and SOEs;
6.1.4. unequal access to senior positions in racially mixed law firms, in particular large LSMEs; and
6.1.5. lack of skills resulting from limited access to quality and specialised areas of work.

 

6.2. These challenges require a robust intervention.
