I wish to ask about a subject about which one hears a lot on the ground, especially when one talks to business owners. It relates to dealing with people who are on the black market - that is, people who are in receipt of jobseeker's payments but who also are working. Everyone is familiar with the sectors about which I am talking. If people wish to give information to the Department, is there some easy accessible way to so do, and can it be promoted? My information is that when people ring up in this regard, they are asked all sorts of detailed questions.
