The Department of Employment and Labour: Limpopo Province's Inspection and Enforcement Services (IES) is planning a week-long mega blitz inspection of the Hospitality and Road Freight sectors.

The mega blitz inspections will take place from February 28 to March 4, 2022, and will target areas throughout the province's the Capricorn, Mopani, Vhembe, Waterberg, and Sekhukhune districts.

Inspectors will not only test compliance and address noncompliance, but the mega blitz will also serve to advise, educate, and provide technical information and support to both workers and employers about the inspectorate's services.

During the week-long inspection, Inspector General Aggy Moiloa will lead interactions with Hospitality Sector role-players (employees, trade unions, and employers) with the goal of ensuring that both parties understand and comply with labour laws governing the employer-employee relationship. Furthermore, employers will be given the opportunity to interact with the Principals and inspectors in order to raise their concerns during the inspection.

Compliance with the National Minimum Wage Act (NMWA), the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), the Unemployment Insurance Act (UIA), and the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) will be tested during the inspections.

Employers will be notified of the inspection so that they can prepare documents and make themselves available prior to the inspections.

The Mega Blitz & Joint Inspection is scheduled as follows:

Date: 28 February 2022- 04 March 2022

Time: 09:00

Venue: All hospitality business
