As part of an ongoing campaign by government to further protect the most
vulnerable of workers, the Department of Labour inspectors are currently
conducting countrywide blitz inspections aimed at checking adherence to various
labour laws.
Apart from the traditional inspections, these inspections are specifically
targeted at small and medium sized businesses, which will also include spaza
shops.
âIt is my view that all employers regardless of the size of their
businesses, should adhere to our labour laws. Workers employed in such
businesses are also entitled to workersâ rights,â he said. The blitz
inspections were started on Monday and will be wrapped up on Friday.
