Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Employment and Labour is urging the public, organised labour, businesses and civil society organisations to submit written comments on the Employment Services Amendment Bill by the sixth of November.
The proposed legislation seeks to strengthen the regulation of foreign nationals’ employment, improve enforcement and establish a legal framework for labour migration.
Committee chairperson Boyce Maneli said the initial call for public submissions has sparked widespread debate on social media and other platforms. He is encouraging South Africans to share their views directly with Parliament through written submissions.
Maneli stated that the public participation process gives Parliament an opportunity to consider diverse perspectives before proceeding with the proposed amendments.
The committee is calling on all interested stakeholders to participate before the deadline, ensuring their concerns and recommendations are considered as Parliament examines the bill.
