1. The concern of the Department of Public Works & Infrastructure (DPWI) in any application to the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) for the reinstatement of a deregistered company or close corporation revolves around whether such entity was the registered owner of immovable property at the time of its deregistration, as such property became "bona vacantia" (ownerless property).


2. With effect from 02 April 2013, DPWI has no role in applications for the reinstatement of a deregistered company or close corporation where such entity was not the registered owner of immovable property at the time of its deregistration. Applications for the reinstatement of such entities should be submitted directly to CIPC in accordance with CIPC Practice Note 6 of 2012. Applicants should note CIPC’ requirement that the deed search results in respect of all ten (10) Deeds Offices – to confirm that the deregistered entity does not hold immovable property anywhere in the country – must be included in their application to CIPC.

To process such applications, DPWI requires the formal property description(s) and confirmation of the ownership of such property(s) in any of the following formats

(a) recent print-outs from DeedsWeb (extracts from the electronic data base of the Deeds Office, obtainable over the counter from any Deeds Office or as a subscription service); or

(b) recent print-outs from any recognised service provider (such as SearchWorks, WinDeed, LexisNexis] based on information extracted from the Deeds Office; or

(c) recent certification by a Conveyancer to confirm the ownership of any properties held by the deregistered entity.

4. Please note that “recent” constitutes information confirmed by the Deeds Office, recognised service provider or Conveyancer in the past thirty (30) days. The locality of the

The EPWP Recruitment Guidelines aim to ensure uniformity across all sectors in the process of recruitment of participants; provide guidance in the selection process and eliminate unfair and biased practices; provide a fair, transparent and non-ambiguous recruitment process and provide guidance to EPWP stakeholders on their roles and responsibilities.

Public bodies (national departments, state owned enterprises, provincial departments, and municipalities) or the relevant publicly appointed Implementing Agencies are responsible for the recruitment and selection of EPWP participants on each project. The implementing bodies will plan the recruitment process in consultation with local community leaders to ensure coordination, and if possible, combine recruitment for multiple projects.

Work opportunities shall be communicated through various channels that optimise the effectiveness of reaching the intended participants. These may include: a) Flyers and notifications at local government offices and facilities, b) Existing community structures and communication channels, c) Existing or specially convened public meetings/gatherings, and d) Local community radio stations, newspapers, etc.

The announcement should always specify how, where and when potential candidates can register or apply for work on relevant EPWP projects. In addition, employment conditions (including responsibilities, wages, entitlements, health and safety, and contract duration) should be made known before the recruitment begins. Once appointed, each participant must be issued with a written contract.

Contact your local public body and monitor the media for further opportunities.

The Basic Conditions of Employment Act states that an employer must pay remuneration not later than seven days after: (a) the completion of the period for which the remuneration is payable; or (b) the termination of the contract of employment. Therefore a written employment contract between the participant and the employer will state when remuneration is payable. Hence, Public bodies are to ensure that participants receive their wages on time at the identified day of the month. Any complaints are to be directed to the Department of Employment and Labour.

The duration of work opportunity is mainly linked to the duration of the project. At the beginning of a project, participants should sign employment contracts which stipulate the start and the end date of the employment (this should be emphasised by Public bodies during induction of participants).
