The proposed normative model presented in this article incorporates eight sets of criteria, identiﬁ ed and deﬁ ned from the literature and the empirical survey. The advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994 witnessed the enshrinement of the fundamental human rights of all citizens with Government’s target for disability employment legislated at 2%, in 1995.
