New laws coming after households employing domestic workers in South Africa, with threats of R100,000 fines

• Households employing domestic workers in South Africa can expect new laws with penalties of up to R100,000 fines for first offenders.
• The proposed Employment Services Amendment Bill aims to tighten enforcement against the employment of undocumented foreign nationals and protect jobs for South Africans by setting sector-specific quotas for foreign employment.
• The bill will undergo public consultations, and the Labour Committee will address concerns regarding enforcement, regulation, and coordination between relevant departments before its implementation.
