Farms in the Free State can expect visits by Labour inspectors who will be looking for under-aged children being employed during the school holidays.

The provincial labour department says teams will also visit farms in the Petrusburg district to do follow ups on some farms against whom the department had opened cases of child labour after having been found to have employed under-aged children last year.

The Basic Conditions of Employment Act prohibits employers from employing children under the age of 15 years.
