Minister of Employment and Labour Thulas Nxesi says his department is proposing the National Labour Migration Policy aimed at giving South Africans access to work opportunities.

The Labour Department says there is a perception that foreign nationals are distorting labour market access.

This comes as truck drivers have embarked on several protests regarding foreign nationals being employed in the freight industry. Nxesi says this proposed legislation will introduce quotas on the total number of documented foreign nationals with work visas that can be employed in major economic sectors.

“We must try and regulate how you bring in the foreigners because what has happened the labour market has been distorted by the employers who decide that they are going to undermine every law and decide to bring in the workers at the lower rates without basic benefits, basic conditions of employment are not there. We are trying to correct that and as a result, sometimes this is displacing in some areas some of the South African workers,” says Nxesi.

Nxesi says, “A quota may apply in respect of a sector of the economy, an occupational category or a geographical area.

What about unpaid 2020 TERS, when will other workers access it?

Stop speaking policies...implement them now. ANC has beautiful policies which are not implemented. We want implementation and no lip service...we are tired of lies,we are not stupid and our votes are not a blank cheque. Deliver or face music come 2024

The truth of the matter is, there's no work. Sooner SAs will be fighting against themselves, it will end in tribal segregation, signs are already telling.The best solution is land so we can support ourselves.

Nxese ,Nxesi we believe that when it's happened

Give the people land and they’ll create opportunities. Restaurant jobs are nothing.

So SAns don’t have work opportunities?

Nxesi is supposed to listen to us why is the ANC wants to please its friends at the expense of South Africans who are mainly unskilled as a result of the poorly managed education for which he contributed as a SADTU leader.
