The Department of Employment and Labour wishes to inform its valued clients that it has deployed an Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) bus to begin servicing clients tomorrow, Tuesday, 01 February 2022, in an effort to restore labour services following the break-in and theft of computers at Atteridgeville Labour Centre.

Until the issue is resolved, the bus will operate four times a week (Tuesday-Friday) from 07:30-16:00. Clients will no longer be required to travel to Pretoria or surrounding areas in order to receive assistance.

The Department encourages the public to make the most of this opportunity. The Department is constantly working to bring services closer to the public.

The Department would like to express its sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by the break-in last week and appreciates everyone's patience. Additionally, the Department is appealing to the public, particularly residents of Atteridgeville, to come forward with any information that may assist the police with their investigation.
