The following were the challenges reported by the officials of the centre: . Demand for services has increased as a result of the decentralisation process. Although the demand has increased, the number of staff members has not increased. . Inspectors continue to find it difficult to access farms due to non- cooperation from farm owners. . Increase in non-compliance to minimum wage payments due to the growing number of people who are unemployed and living in poverty. . Shortage of inspection vehicles. As a result, the DoL through the 2010/11 budget will hire vehicles for the inspectorate service. . Increasing non-compliance to general basic working conditions from the immigrant employers. In response, the DoL and the Department of Home Affairs will conduct joint inspections in the province in order to assess and enforce compliance
