It is well known that the development of the tourism sector is one of government’s key priorities as encapsulated in the National Development Plan (NDP). The NDP calls for emphasis to be placed on increasing the number of tourists entering South Africa, making doing business with South Africa easier to attract more business travellers, as well as promoting the Southern African region as an international tourism destination by emphasising the broader biodiversity of the region as a tourism product. We continue to focus our efforts on harnessing the potential of this sector, not only for our country’s GDP growth, but also for skills development and job creation in the tourism sector. We are committed to ensuring that there is a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability. In 2016, over 10 million tourist arrivals were recorded in South Africa, a 13% increase from 2015. The sector accounted for 4.5% of total employment in 2015. There are over 700 000 jobs in the tourism sector, and we can improve these numbers only if private and public interest support each other.

  • Farm Workers' Living and Working Conditions in South Africa
    Farm Workers’ Living and Working Conditions in South Africa: key trends, emergent issues, and underlying and structural problems a report prepared by Margareet Visser of the Labour and Enterprise Policy Research Group (LEP), Institute of Development and Labour Law, University of Cape Town; and Stuart Ferrer, Director of the Agricultural Policy Research Unit, School of Agricultural, Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal; based on a research project commissioned by THE PRETORIA OFFICE OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION February 2015 | P a g e Executive Summary Employment relations between farm workers and their employers are in the spotlight following violent farm worker protests in the Western Cape in November 2012 and the revision of the Sectoral Determination 13: Farm Worker Sector in March 2013. The emergence of various (sometimes controversial) studies and media reports on farm workers’ working and living conditions over the past few years has deepened and broadened the discourse on the multiple and diverse challenges facing agricultural producers, employers and workers. However, outdated assumptions and over- simplifications continue to fuel unhealthy polarisation in the perceptions and views of key role players and the public in general. This study seeks to highlight the ways in which the landscape has changed and to provide a perspective that allows for a more systemic understanding of the drivers that create the conditions for labour conflict. Five desktop reviews were undertaken as part of Phase 1 of the research project. These reviews focused on (a) the demographics of farm workers and farm dwellers; (b) the underlying economic context that governs farm employment; (c) the regulatory framework that governs the relationship and circumstances between farm workers, farm dwellers, employers and owners, labour brokers and other contractors; (d) the socio-economic conditions of farm workers; and (e) the movement of workers off-farm, including consideration of trends relating to tenure security of farm dwellers and farm evictions.
