Mpumalanga Employment and Labour offices temporarily closed due to COVID19

Two Mpumalanga’s Department Of Employment and Labour offices temporary closed due to officials testing positive to COVID – 19

Two Mpumalanga’s Department of Employment and Labour offices namely, Emalahleni and Mbombela Labour Centres are temporarily closed due to officials testing positive to COVID – 19. The closure is to ensure that employees who are affected and those who have been in contact with the affected employee can self-isolate and for decontamination of the office to be carried out as required.

Though the Department of Employment and Labour is concerned about the disruption of their much needed services, of paramount importance is the safety of its clients and staff members.

“Several officials have been in contact with the official who tested positive to COVID – 19. Due to the high number of employees affected at both Labour Centre this has warranted the temporary closure of both labour centres and in the process limit the possible further spreading of the virus,” said Ms Margaret Mazibuko, the Chief Director: Provincial Operations in the Mpumalanga.

The office is expected to open on Monday, 16 August 2021,  and clients are encouraged to use the Department’s online services found on www.labour.gov.zaa   or visit other nearby offices.
