The child labour laws in South Africa
The child labour laws in South Africa are very strict when it comes to the employment of minors. Children under the age of 14 are not allowed to work in South Africa unless they have special permission from the Department of Labor. Even then, the work that they are allowed to do is very limited. Children between the ages of 14 and 18 are allowed to work, but only under certain conditions. They must have a permit from the Department of Labor, and their work must not interfere with their schooling. The hours they are allowed to work are also limited.
The restrictions on working hours for a 14-year-old
In South Africa, the restrictions on working hours for a 14-year-old are as follows: they may not work more than 4 hours on a school day, 8 hours on a Saturday, and 2 hours on a Sunday. They may not work between the hours of 7 pm and 7 am on any day. These restrictions are in place in order to protect young workers from exploitation and to ensure that they are able to attend school.
