The report showed that white men represented 61% of top management, enjoyed 48% of all recruitment and made up 45% of all employees promoted to this level.
At the top management level black men represented 10%, enjoyed 13% of all recruitment and made up 13% of all employees promoted to this level.
In this category, Indian men represented 5% and coloured men 4%, while white women represented 12%, black women just less than 4%, and Indian and coloured women each just more than 1%.
For the first time the study also looked at how top management in the government sector compared with the private sector.
In government 61% were black, 12% coloured, 5% Indian, 21% white and under 1% foreigners.
In the private sector white people had the highest representation with 74%, followed by black people with 13%, Indians with just less than 6%, coloureds with 5% and foreigners accounting for about 3%.
Manyi said generally speaking government was closer to achieving the proportional economical active race representation targets.
"Government is trampling the private sector at every turn," he said, adding, however, that much still needed to be done.
Representation of people with disabilities at all levels and in both private and public sectors dropped from 1% over the previous years to 0,7%.
Manyi said in recruitment and promotions the trend showed that white people were generally favoured.
"The job market is pro-white people ... we don't have the facts to back up the story that employment equity is anti-white."
Obviously there's a hierarchy with black (African) females at the top and white females at the bottom.
