A normative model for the employment of people with disabilities within the Provincial Government of the Western Cape
This article investigates the trends in the employment of people with disabilities within the Provincial Government of the Western Cape (PGWC) and proposes a normative model to address the matter of low employment and progression rates of people with disabilities within the PGWC. 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. Yet, in spite of employment targets and disability rights being legislated for people with disabilities since 1995, such people within the public service represented only 0.15% of the total staff complement of the public service nationwide, as at December 2004. Hence, a compelling need arises for a structured approach to disability employment. The article accordingly refers to the subject matter relating to disability employment

The Role of Democratic Politics in Transforming Moral Convictions into Law
Professor Michael Perry's new book, Morality, Politics, and Law, is an ambitious attempt to address the extent to which moral and religious beliefs in a pluralistic society, such as ours, can legitimately influence law. He departs from the common opinion in legal circles that moral beliefs are a matter of taste or "values," and defends an older conception that it is possible to attain moral "knowledge." ' He also departs from the "liberal political-philosophical project," 2 which claims that it is possible (and desirable) for governments to steer a neutral course between competing moral understandings of the good. This, he suggests, is an illusion, and a disguise for the imposition of a particular moral structure without opportunity for open deliberation and reflection. Professor Perry brings some refreshing common sense to these riddles of moral philosophy. His "naturalist" approach has obvious roots in Aristotle-not a bad place to begin thinking about ethics.
