LIVE: Guptas said SA workers 'were lazy', flew in labourers from India who worked in 'sub-human conditions' - Sundaram tells #StateCaptureInquiry

Sundaram:"There was very basic facilities for toilets and washrooms... this Nepali national would cook for them, and the drivers would ferry the food to those people. And also, I remember Ajay Gupta and others complaining about how those people have, a large number of them, were coming to The New Age office to use the washrooms."

Sundaram:"So, on the one hand, you don't provide them enough washrooms at site, and when they come to the office, there is a total amount of disgust that he would talk about..." Sundaram:"So they would sleep at site, they would work at site, they would be working 24 hours, there were no labour laws that were applicable to those people. And in my view, why when there is abundant supply of skilled and unskilled labour for construction in South Africa, why would they get these people from there?"Sundaram again mentions the Nepali national working at the Gupta-owned guesthouse where he stayed when he first came to SA.

Sundaram says the Nepali national told him about the working conditions he and other labourers were put in, that were"sub-human"... "The labourers would come from India on tourist visas," Sundaram says, and they were staying at the studio while they were constructing it.

People who like cutting corners, save pennies and exploit workers...predominantly hold this view that SA workers are lazy and expensive...it is a pro exploitative narrative...they wanted people who would not ask questions, who had no stake in the propaganda being peddled!

He said they are expensive not lazy

vhy is this guy speaking about SA vorkers when he is not an SA citizen... he must go and vork in his country.....

Lol 😂
