Labour Department intensifies efforts to enforce workplace laws

# The Department of Employment and Labour warns employers to comply with South Africa’s labour laws as it intensifies nationwide inspections. Deputy minister Jomo Sibiya says inspectors visited 114 workplaces during the first coordinated high-impact compliance blitz across all nine provinces. Only three workplaces were found to be fully compliant. Sibiya says widespread violations were uncovered, with many employers failing to comply with key labour legislation. He says further inspections will be conducted to enforce compliance.
