Mozambique - New mining work regulation

With the recent discoveries of oil and mineral resources, the Mozambican market has welcomed a significant number of oil and mining companies. However, labour relations in these areas have certain specific characteristics that result from the unique nature of these activities. These specifics call for an equally specific regulation and, indeed, article 3(1)(c) of Law 23/2007 of 1 August – the Law of Employment provides that mining work should be governed by special legislation.
