Classification of Disability Physical Impairment  means total or partial loss of a bodily function or part of the body. It includes sensory impairments   Mental Impairment  means a clinically recognised condition that affects a persons thought process, judgement or emotions.
Classification of Disability Long-term  means the impairment must be for greater than 12 months Recurring impairment  is one that is likely to happen again and to be substantially limiting    Substantially limiting  occurs when the impairment substantially limits the person ’ s ability to perform the essential functions of the job.

Employment Equity Proving race As it is not possible to confirm a person ’ s racial classification, it is recommended that organisations get their staff to complete the EEA1 report, wherein the staff member would declare which race group they fall into. The same would apply for disability, as the relevant staff member would need to declare their disability and then submit sufficient proof thereof.
