  17. Definition of Disability The Employment Equity Act, No 55, 1998, Section 54(1)(a) defines people with disabilities as follows: People who have a long term or recurring physical or mental impairment which substantially limits their prospects of entry into, or advancement in, employment. Slide 17

  18. First, a person must have an impairment: • An impairment may either be physical or mental or a combination of both. • A physical impairment means “a partial or total loss of a bodily function or part of the body”. • A mental impairment is a clinically recognised condition or illness that affects a person’s thought processes, judgements or emotions. Slide 18

  19. Secondly, the impairment must also be long-term or recurring: • Long-term means the impairment has lasted or is likely to persist at least 12 months. • Recurring means the impairment in one that is likely to happen again and to be substantially limiting. The condition can go away for a period of time and return again but it is never cured. Slide 19

  20. Progressive conditions are those that develop or change or recur. People living with progressive conditions or illnesses are considered as people with disabilities once the impairment starts to be substantially limiting. Slide 20

  21. Thirdly, the impairment must be substantially limiting: • An impairment is substantially limiting if its nature, duration or effects substantially limit a person’s ability to perform essential functions of the job for which he/she is being considered. Slide 21
