Mr Ntonga, the Assistant Director: Labour Operations at Estcourt, received the delegation at the labour centre. The delegation took a walk-about at the centre whereby it interacted with staff and clients of different business units. The following challenges were identified: . Six inspectors have to cope with high targets despite a shortage of vehicles (there are 4 cars - 2 subsidised and 2 shared). . Processing of applications for subsidised cars takes years and this is demoralising the inspectors. . Cable theft hinders communication when inspectors have to make appointments with farmers in the surrounding farms. . In many cases inspectors have experienced difficulty verifying credentials of businesses, especially those owned by foreign nationals. . There is no dedicated cleaning company for the labour centre since November 2012; . Five inspectors are sharing one computer. . The process of registration of companies for COIDA is slow. . Overseeing foreign business owners is the biggest challenge for the IES. The majority of them do not comply with legislation and it is difficult to identify genuine business owners who should take responsibility when there are issues of transgression.
