Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi says labour inspectors have found low compliance with certain employers to safety measures to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

Nxesi was addressing the media on the labour department's regulations under Level 3 of the national lockdown, which comes into effect from Monday, June 1.

Nxesi said this was worrying because more workers were expected to return to work under Level 3. He said what made the non-compliance worse was that it worked against achieving the government's efforts to curb the spread of the virus and flatten the curve. Nxesi also outlined what was expected from employers which include that they draw-up Covid-19 frameworks and appoint Covid-19 compliance officers that will monitor and carry out a company's strategy to mitigate the spread of the virus.

He should also be concerned about IIF not processing employee claims. They’re only handling employee TERS claims. Regular UIF and maternity claims are sitting unattended. And they’re complaining not enough employers are submitting claims. Disgusting. And no one is raising this.

The Ministry must stop being concerned and apply the Law against employers who are non-compliant.

Correlation between people who don’t listen and spread of virus: Bheki Cele“Most of the people that have been arrested, they come from the hot areas. For instance, Western Cape leads in terms of the people that have been arrested, and then Gauteng is second,” said Cele. And how many rapists, murderers, child abusers, thieves, car hijackers and state capturers has he arrested I wonder. Irrelevant if you don’t say where the police have been stationed. 🙄 No reasoning on this one. He just open his mouth and talk crap. Instead of police focusing on real issues yena he’s busy looking to terrorize people who are going to work, doing no crime. Ayeza kodwa ama elections ngeke sikhohlwe
