The Portfolio Committee on Labour will conduct public hearings on the national minimum wage in the Western Cape this weekend. This parliamentary process follows President Jacob Zuma’s request during the 2014 State of the National Address that modalities of implementing a national minimum wage be investigated.
The Chairperson of the Committee, Ms Lumka Yengeni, says Parliament will afford every South African an opportunity to be heard on the matter. Various stakeholders, including executive mayors, domestic workers, farmworkers and union representatives from around the Western Cape have been invited to the public hearings.
