The Minister of Labor and Social Security, Margarida Talapa, launched, this Saturday, the campaign for the registration of Mozambican workers, in South Africa, in the social security system.

Margarida Talapa announced that, in the coming days, an INSS brigade will be working in the South African mines and farms, to enroll workers who want to join the social security system.

There are nearly 19,000 Mozambican workers in the mining sector, and 9,000 in the agricultural sector. There are also hundreds of Mozambicans who operate in the South African informal sector.

All of these, were targets of the campaign, launched this Saturday in Johannesburg.

The general director of the National Institute of Social Security, Joaquim Siúta, explains that Mozambican workers in South Africa who join the social security system will be integrated into the self-employed regime.

Joaquim Siúta also revealed that an identical work will be done, soon, in the kingdom of eSwatini, and that in other countries an evaluation of the potentialities of the existing Mozambican work force will be done.

He also added that the INSS currently pays pensions to beneficiaries who are in Portugal and the UK.
