  • Employment and Labour Budget: Committee Report 26 May 2020

    Mr M Bagraim (DA) suggested reasons as to why the Department had failed.

  • UIF & Compensation Fund 2020/21 Annual Performance Plans 20 May 2020

    Mr M Bagraim (DA) commented that a lot of the information presented was irrelevant, because everything would change. Therefore, he was not sure why so much time had been spent on it when the report could have been presented on paper, and then the real issue of Covid-19 could have ...

  • Nedlac & Productivity SA 2020/21 Annual Performance Plans 14 May 2020

    Mr M Bagraim (DA) thanked NEDLAC for the presentation.

He proposed that the regulations be eased so that businesses could hire more employers ...

  • CCMA & CF 2020/21 Annual Performance Plans 12 May 2020

    Mr M Bagraim (DA) made a few suggestions. The first involved case management, where he proposed the CCMA should have some sort of barrier when they identified that referrals had no merit, and that they should be given some power in the rules to deal with them.

  • UNIDENTIFIED MEMBER: MINISTER? 10 Jul 2019

    Chairperson, hon Minister, director-general, my family and students, thank you for coming. 'The time has come,' the walrus said, "to talk of many things.
