Equity Targets
UNIZULU’s equity targets and achievements are displayed in Diagram 11, which reflects statistical data covering four quarters as at 31 December 2020 showing the actual compared to the University EE targets and economically active population. UNIZULU has made good progress in the past three years and has achieved targets in the categories of top management, professionally qualified and the skilled staff levels. Progress is still behind targets in the senior management level and will require focus in the next three years while maintaining the targets already achieved.
