Hon Rayi, the Labour Relations Act, sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 provide for the management of the relationship between the employer and the employee. With regard to farm evictions the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development has the Land Tenure Act as a tool to manage this relationship. We are keenly aware that even though we have these pieces of legislation to ensure that evictions do not occur, there
are still farmers who still perform this bad practice. These practises are not going to stop when some of these farmers who are treating our people like slaves, are still having supporters in Parliament within the legislatures.

Furthermore, we do have inspectors to ensure that they enforce our laws. The challenge of not collaborating of partnering our efforts to change our country for the better, we have to deal with that in order to defeat all what we are talking about.
I am positioning the Department of Employment and Labour in such a way that it works with other departments in implementing many of these obligations. For instance, approach to inspectors now is that we do them in collaborations with the departments, amongst others is the Department of Home Affairs, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development and with some agencies like SA Revenue Service, Sars, and others, so that we look at whether the people are able to meet their obligations once we bring Sars there and so that we are able to say - because people enjoy using illegal desperate immigrants at the expense of the people who are legal. Hon Deputy Chairperson and
I repeat it, I do not know which lawmakers are still supporting and defending these acts and why? Thank you.
