Question 1

Scenario 1 – Gender-based stereotyping in workplace and social
contexts

1. Applicable law(s)

 The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 — Bill
of Rights, especially Section 9 (Equality) and Section 10 (Human
Dignity). The 1993 Interim Constitution is no longer operative.
 Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (EEA) — applies if this
occurred in the workplace. Prohibits unfair discrimination,
including on the grounds of gender, sex, and potentially
harassment.
 Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair
Discrimination Act 4 of 2000 (PEPUDA) — applies outside of
the employment context, dealing with discrimination in broader
society.

This conduct reflects gender-based stereotyping and potentially
constitutes harassment (a form of unfair discrimination).

2. Standing (locus standi)

Yes — the affected woman has a direct and substantial interest in the
matter because the comments and stereotypes were directed at her and
affect her dignity and equality rights.
