39. CONCLUSION • The Department of Labour has appreciated the tenable successes and acknowledged some of the challenges facing the organisation. And, we continue in our strides to address these challenges. • The Department received its second unqualified audit opinion consecutively. The Sheltered Employment Factories (SEF) obtained its first unqualified report in years. Issues raised by the Auditor General are being corrected and improvements in the control environment are on an on-going process. • Chairperson, the Department has significantly improved its internal efficiencies and focuses on service delivery; that is the reason for changes to the labour legislations are recommended.

40. Thank You…
