Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 82ème session CIT (1995)

Part II of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government's reply to its earlier comments that the Bill drafted to repeal sections 18 and 22 of the Labour Code (Act No. 91 of 1959), which authorized the setting up of private employment agencies, and to amend section 11 of the Code so as to extend to domestic and similar workers the application of the chapter concerning placement of unemployed persons, has not yet been adopted. The Committee is therefore bound to reiterate the comments it has been making over a number of years regarding the need to bring the legislation into full conformity with the Convention. It once again expresses firm hope that the above-mentioned Bill will be adopted in the nearest future and that it will contain the above provisions with a view to giving effect to this Part of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to provide, in its next report, information on any progress made in this connection.
