Elisha Matambo, the Copperbelt Minister, says employers should stop the trend of engaging casual labour at the expense of providing decent jobs.
Matambo said in Kitwe on Monday while officiating at the Kitwe International Labour Day celebrations that labour laws must be adhered to to avoid heavy sanctions.
