This mini-dissertation deals with the impact of child labour in the Vhembe
Region. Africa reportedly has the highest incidence of child labour in the world.
Vhembe as a region and South Africa as a whole has the problem of child
labour which is influenced by poverty. To respond to this problem, some
scholars recommend an outright ban on child labour through legislation. Child
labour refers to dangerous and exploitative work which is carried out at too
early an age, involves long working hours, carried out in inadequate
conditions, not sufficiently paid, involves excessive responsibility, and
undermines the child’s dignity and self-esteem. The mini-dissertation has clearly
defined the child labour and discusses the legislative framework, international
law framework and the challenges of child labour in the Vhembe Region.
