The Portfolio Committee on Labour have now concluded their deliberations. They will recommend in early 2017 that the bill be adopted ‘as is’ by parliament. The bill will then come up for a vote in the National Assembly. Once agreed on by parliament, it will go to the president for signature. As soon as the president signs off it will be gazetted and become law.
