Civil society organisations call on government to withdraw the Employment Services Amendment Bill

# Civil society organisations are calling on government to withdraw the proposed Employment Services Amendment Bill, particularly provisions that would empower the Minister of Employment and Labour to impose quotas on foreign workers across different economic sectors and occupations. Government announced that the proposed amendments are intended to regulate labour migration, protect workers and promote employment opportunities for South Africans. The organisations have raised concerns about increased government control over employment practices and the potential impact on businesses and the labour market.
