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.

EFF leader Julius Malema made the visits on Wednesday, asking for information on foreign employees vs the number of South Africans employed at the businesses.

While the department did not mention Malema’s name, it said this was a matter within its jurisdiction. “The principle of fair labour practice is a fundamental right enshrined and guaranteed in the constitution. The Labour Relations Act and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act give effect to the principle of fair labour practice. The legislation prescribes recourse for employees who feel their rights have been trampled upon,”“The legislation is intended to protect employees irrespective of their nationality as long as the employment relationship can be identified.

But is sleeping on duty moc what can be done by who?

Howmany has the myopic minister handled such cases. In the event ofsuch ppl like him not understanding theirjob description, we have the EFF

Udakiwe

Lol says the minister who sleeps on the job. He should be ashamed of the position he holds while doing nothing.

Useless Employment and Labour department must urgently attend to situations at Luthuli House and CloverSA and stop throwing tantrums.

How do you determine what's 'controversial'

PA and ActionSA have been doing this in the townships to black foreign business. Now that the EFF has touched a white establishment the bloody mampara labour department is reading us a riot act.

Mxm

What was the minister doing all along? Our government needs to stop hiring incompetent people 🚮

How about you do your job for once and stop complaining cause these companies are breaking labour laws?

White media is catching feelings. They never catch feelings when we butcher our own African brothers and sisters. Wake up mntomnyama!! The Mashabas and Gsyton's of this world are funded by these whites to confuse YOU!

Uncalled for. Juju is feeling pressure from his supporters now he feels the need to work around making such demands. This man is a flip floper to start with, last time he wanted a borderless Africa now this.

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

Sure they are. But he was sleeping on the job and somebody did it. Let’s see him do the rest

I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_Jones39 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him I just imagine what will happen in Parliament if all parties could behave like EFF, disrespect the speaker or Chair, call on countless points of orders, disrupt meetings etc. I wonder if 1 day EFF becomes a ruling party nd all parties do what it does to their speaker.
