Spokesperson David Hlabane says this is in order to find a lasting solution to ensure that their offices can provide full services on Saturdays to members of the public.

“In this regard, there will be another round of negotiations scheduled for Monday 3 July until Wednesday 5 July, which the Department firmly hopes will achieve both an interim and a long-term solution to the matter,” he said in a statement.

He added the Department wished to take this opportunity to apologise to the public for the inconvenience caused. 

“Once again, the Department is appealing to the union leadership to assist in resolving this matter speedily in the spirit of the settlement agreement.

“We reiterate our call that quality service delivery to our people is of utmost importance in line with our values and the sooner this matter is finalised, the better the situation will be for the public and our country,” he concluded.
