Employment and Labour Dept steps up inspections in four key sectors
Deputy Minister Jomo Sibiya says construction is among the sectors being targeted.
The Department of Employment and Labour is intensifying inspections in four key sectors to combat widespread non-compliance with labor laws, Deputy Minister Jomo Sibiya announced. These sectors include construction, agriculture, hospitality, and wholesale and retail. Sibiya highlighted that these industries have experienced high levels of labor law violations, such as worker exploitation and the employment of undocumented migrants.
During a recent inspection at a construction site in Sandton, Johannesburg, Sibiya emphasized the need to enforce all South African laws, including labor laws, immigration laws, and by-laws. He stated that individuals operating outside the legal framework in these sectors must be identified and dealt with, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.
