The Department of Employment and Labour to host the National Labour Migration Policy Dialogue at Madiba Banquet Hall in Potchefstroom from 9am until 12:30pm.

The Department of Employment and Labour provincial spokesperson, Botsa Huma said, following the issuing of the drafts for National Labour Migration Policy and Employment Services Bill by the Minister of Employment and Labour in 2022, the department embarked on a series of dialogues with different stakeholders to advocate and solicit support as well as inputs on the policy.

Huma said this week on 16 February 2024, the department will host the Labour Migration Dialogue in Potchefstroom, North West.

“The purpose of this event is to facilitate sharing of innovative practices related to labour migration and governance, in particular putting into practice social dialogue by implementing a tripartite plus approach.

“This includes identifying labour migration governance progress since the release of the draft policy, gaps and challenges in the country and main opportunities to consider in the SADC region, as well as to provide a platform for tripartite partners to re-organise and re-strategize labour migration governance,” she said.

Huma further said different stakeholders such as government departments, State-owned Entities, Local and District Municipalities, employers, Social Partners (Business, Community, and Organised Labour), Research and Educational Institutions and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are expected to be part of the dialogue.
