construction sites come under scrutiny this week as Labour Minister
Membathisi Mdladlana inspects the Soccer City – venue of the upcoming
World Cup opening ceremony in two years’ time.
Mdladlana’s visit forms part of the week-long swoop of the
construction sector by the Labour Department in various parts of the
country until Friday (Aug 29).
The construction sector has gained notoriety as one of the high risk
industries – recording high accident and fatality incidents almost
every day. A few weeks ago a worker died when a concrete slab fell on
him at the construction site of the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane,
Limpopo.
The Minister and his team will commence their inspection at 08:30.
The media is invited. Details are as follows:
Date:
25 August 2008
Venue:
Soccer City (Near NASREC)
Time:
08:30 – 11:00
