Always blame the businesses and private individuals. Where does the ANC take responsibility for 30 years of allowing this to happen? Do they fine their own R100000 for taking bribes and turning a blind eye? I am sick of the leaders with their BS and lack of accountability!
Recently gazetted laws will hit employers hiring illegal foreign workers with a R100,000 fine for first offenders, including households that employ domestic workers.
However, this penalty can escalate to up to R1 million or even jail time if employers continue to disregard the country’s employment laws.
The proposed changes form part of the Employment Services Amendment Bill, which was gazetted on 26 May after receiving Cabinet approval for introduction to Parliament.
The bill is aimed at tightening enforcement against the employment of undocumented foreign nationals and forms part of the government’s broader response to illegal immigration.
In his address to the nation on 7 June, President Cyril Ramaphosa said the legislation would help close loopholes in existing laws and ensure that South African citizens are prioritised for employment opportunities.
The bill applies to all employers, including private households. This means homeowners who employ domestic workers without the legal right to work in South Africa could face significant penalties.
Under the proposed framework, a first offence would attract a fine of R100,000 per undocumented worker.
A second offence within three years would result in a R200,000 fine per worker, while multiple or ongoing violations could lead to penalties of up to R1 million.
Employing undocumented foreign nationals is already a criminal offence under Section 38 of the Immigration Act and can result in imprisonment.
To avoid penalties, employers must ensure that foreign domestic workers have valid passports and the appropriate visas or permits authorising them to work in South Africa
@Patriot_S_A@lynne_dare@MYANC@CyrilRamaphosa is the best you can come up with? Fine businesses and private individuals? What are you doing with the corrupt Home affairs issuing fake certificates and
the corrupt police who arrest the illegals then take a bribe and let them free? Are they being fined?
QUESTION IS WHO HAS ACCESS TO WITNESSES TO THREATEN THEM ?
The pieces of the puzzle are finally coming together. If you wondered why the Madlanga Commission had to broadcast off-camera until 11:30 today, Witness I's explosive testimony just gave us the answer.
In a massive plot twist, Witness I completely changed his narrative. He finally came clean about his two year stay at the family home of alleged crime boss "Cat" Matlala. The kicker? He admits he was severely threatened last night. When your safety is pushed to the brink, full disclosure becomes your only shield. The drama is unfolding in real-time. 😮🍿

A tale of two markets:
One was a dumpsite. A DA government transformed it into an informal trading market. The other has been neglected for decades. The ANC left it to rot.
This is what YOUR VOTE decides.

@dlm_nko@Markosonke1@elonmusk I am happy for you that you have made up your mind. Millions in this country do want starlink. By the way the US aid to Africa was cut because of the stealing and it was not Elon who cut it.
@ErnstRoets@SentinelfromSA@Leon_Schreib@LexLibertasOnX If we had a competent government with just about no corruption we could determine
How many schools, hospitals, clinics public amenities, homes are required for each city/ province. Right now it’s a thumb suck as who knows how many people are moving around.
