“The idea that Julius Malema has the authority to impose himself on a private employer — armed, like an apartheid-era labour inspector with a clipboard and a kit to conduct a kind of pencil-test — is both laughable and dangerous,” he said.

However, DA shadow minister of employment and labour Michael Cardo said the EFF programme was a desperate exercise in xenophobic, political grandstanding masquerading as legislative oversight.

The EFF has argued that the food service industry tended to hire foreign nationals who were prone to exploitation at the exclusion of locals, leading to tensions that often result in xenophobia. But the DA is not convinced and, according to Cardo, the EFF approach was that of a populist party with little or no coherent policies that would seemingly do anything to attract attention, with scant regard for the rule of law.

“Unfortunately, this is just another staged event in the EFF’s ongoing campaign of throwing its weight about the workplace, even though it has no legal standing or right to do so,” he said. Today the leadership of the EFF met with Management of Ocean Basketball to examine the restaurant and also check the Staff Components.

I don't think julius malema knows the meaning of the song by late Elvis Presley,'Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread), Where Wise Men Never Go!! If he knew this song,he would not be so Reckless.

Thulas Nxesi must do the same, lead his inspectors by example.

Flanked by Hordes of Bodyguards, what for if he's such a strong man,sic julius malema

And the fucking media just lap it up and give Malema exactly what he wants - front page exposure. He plays you people like fools.

I just got another payout of R6Ok. can't just believe this, because I have lost so much in Bitcoin investment with several people, took a lot of loan until I was introduced to this great account manager who helped me recovered all my lost. thank you so much 🥰 MichaelWeldon_ One would suspect that Julius Malema can not be far from being Foreigner Himself, when one listens when he speaks,sounds like he is Struggling with the South African Language 😅😅,His choice of words & pronouncification is very suspicious 😅

Labour minister says employment matters are his to handle after controversial EFF 'checks'The employment and labour department has weighed in on the EFF's controversial visits to Johannesburg restaurants to demand that management provide them with information on how many foreign nationals they employ. Sure they are. But he was sleeping on the job and somebody did it. Let’s see him do the rest Useless department This campaign against foreign workers is very, very dangerous. Vote-catching politicians are playing with fire they will not be able to control. And they have no right to intimidate businesses owners. Attachment is from The Citizen
