Ministerial spokesperson, Bongiwe Gambu says talks started on Monday.
"The unions have requested some time to go to their constituency and consult on the proposed [options] for the resolution of the dispute. An agreement will be reached hopefully in the next coming week. Until then, unfortunately, home affairs offices will not be opened on Saturdays," he said.
