The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee noted with satisfaction in 1979 that section 79(2) of the Employment Act (which authorised chiefs to require persons to act as their messengers) (1967) was repealed by the Employment (Amendment) Act, 1977. A copy of the latter Act was also received by the Committee. The Committee notes from the Government's report for the period 1 July 1987 to 30 June 1989 that section 79(2) of the Employment Act, 1967 is in force. The Committee again asks the Government to provide further information on the state of the law as currently applied.
