- Worrying labour laws contraventions have been found at a Bronkhorstspruit factory. An inspection by labour department officials found that employees are subjected to unsafe and exploitative working conditions. Gauteng Labour Department chief inspector Adv. Michael Msiza says the working conditions at the factory are dire. He adds that upon arrival, they found that the employer isn't compliant with labour legislations.

Shame but when I reported a similar matter your officer and investigator tipped the company off and just went to offices to collect bribes ....
That is what happens most of the time but now and then they have to raid someone so that people don't say they are not doing their job. It is like the drug dealing in all metropoles. the cops work closely with the drug lords and now and then the druglords will make use of a fall guy who gets paid well who will go to jail after the druglords tipped off the cops so that the cops looks very good doing their "job"
This must be the first company they've investigated this year.
Wouldn't the owner pay the bribe ?
Where are the inspectors in the townships where they have open air abattoirs ?
@@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ub theyre there collecting bribe money
In this instance, the government must try enforce compliance and compensation for those injured. But it is an extremely stupid and misguided obsession to close the company. There is a demand for their product in the market, and there are people who need jobs. Why is everyone fixated in getting the company closed. Dept of Labour must do their job on inspection and help companies comply, and allow our people get jobs and make a living.
Depending on whom the company belongs to, the fact that there are people who got injured and may never be able to work again looks like it has been lost on you. As long as the factorry keeps on producing the King can get his money. In terms of African customary thinking that is acceptable, at least the "King" is making money, whoever that is. This comment is a clear indication of customary thinking, how can you now use the law to close the factory. You are taking work away from our people, but the one making the most money does not have to take the risk of loosing limb or life - under african customary law that is acceptable as long as the "King" does not loose.
Does the above comment really show a concern for the poor people who needs jobs or does it speak to the greed of the "King"?
Waste of time, all the inspectors from Labour, Health, NHBRC, Home affairs etc, like bribes.
Dont forget the CCMA too
We are under siege, all bribery culture started after the scorpions was dismantled by corrupt anc. Home affairs is the worst corrupt department. Id's sold over the counter. Assylum papers processed in the township.@@pieterempiresmatch3852
The Department of Home Affairs has dropped the ball in this matter, why did they refuse to join the labour department inspections.
Where has the inspector been past 14yrs since the company been there? Can he go check also at agriprocessing factories too,9r they dont want to disturb food security 😅
There are her now, so let's sit back and enjoy what will be discovered in this country. Give time they'll go when they receive tip off from workers so encourage the workers to inform DOL. Let's be happy that the GNU is slowly looking great.
He is talking.nonsense
Some of our factories the management smokes inside but when you guys Come to inspect they clean all buds and tell other smokers to not smoke till you guys leave
Only Law abiding citizens struggle in this country. all the criminals thrive and live well
Truly speaking.
That's all true and well said
Its not something new, it is called survival of the fittest
Our laws are too soft too much red tape
That tie must also be investigated. it couldn't have entered the country legally.
😂😂😂but really!! Check the hawks raid video earlier and listen to the hawks lady they interviewed there,noooohhh😂😅
😂😂😂
That company has a window opportunity of relocating their machines during the night in big trucks because the home affairs and immigration department is not there. The machines will be hidden underground at unknown location with new workers.
Total BS!! It's intimidation of a good clean business employing people and keeping them off the street. There must be better things for these officials to do. And involving the press as part of the questioning team is just unacceptable.
They can forget about finding those illegal workers when they go back there.They’ve already fled the scene by now.
They can still find the owner !!!
@@truth-Hurts375 Maybe. But the three illegal workers will most likely not be there. The owner could just say “they disappeared and I don’t know where they are” and there’s nothing the officials will be able to do about it.
@@Miss_G-e7r They can still take action against him for not complying with Labour and immigration law. Our New Home Office Minister said he wants all places inspected if they hiring illegals. The cleanup has begun.
@@Tinker8531 Those three illegals will still be ghosts in the wind in the country. Undocumented. Their whereabouts unknown. They may even go back there to continue working illegally once the dust settles. What I’m trying to point out here is that their work was sloppy. If these raids are going to be effective, they have to always come with the Police and Home Affairs so that there’s no possibility that anyone breaking the law can slip away.
@MonisNolithaGcakasi, let's try and be positive for once. Let's see how this will play out and stop with the negative while they at least do something. Is never too late. At least they are trying. When they dont kkdo anything like in the past we also complaining. Look at the PPE COVID saga SIU was busy yesterday in Mpumalanga so let's try and give them praise when they busy doing something for a change maybe that will also encourage them when they read through comments I bet they do come back to these interviews if not they loved ones and tell them about the positive feedback or negative feedback from viewers.
If the relevant government departments and their affiliated government agencies carry on with their complacent and complicit roles in disenfranchising the people of South Africa, especially the marginalised, a bloody revolution is inevitably eminent. I can confidently say that the relevant government departments and their "competent" agencies work in silos, and they are often ill prepared when conducting these inspections. You would think they are rendering customer service the way they handle these evil transgressors. Why is SARS never present in these inspections? What is the probability that a company that does not make contributions to the UIF and Workmens Compensation, will comply with employee tax deductions and company tax laws? It's mind boggling why SARS would sleep on the job when it comes to foreigners when they have adequate competency to rein in on South African tax defaulters.
How did that factory start operating ?without inspection
Inspectors ke masepa
where are the factories build by politicians,
It's called Farms ! When did you ever saw a Tractor Operator spraying PESTICIDES with the right PPE ????
With all due respect, you should ask your government Zanu-PF politicians that question. Our New Home Affairs Minister declared every farm, hotel, restaurant, construction sites and factories needs to be inspected if they complying with Immigration laws. He is very eager to do his job. 😂😂WELL DONE GNU.
@@Tinker8531will see who is going to suffer after all.chinese will close they business and leave.you are not industrial thinkers,all you know earn a wage and squander it.u cant run a spaza shop u prefer to rent out yards to foreigner and complain.how useful are you as citizen to create a job for your fellow black people.all you know blame white men blame foreigners.
He got a nerve to call our leaders names, and his so invested in this country's affairs, but let it be about Zimbabwe affairs he wont say anything. His an irritation this one. He loves Newzroom Afrika news. i bet he hardly watches Zimbabwe news@Tinker8531
Poor coordination between departments.
How many more factory's are in our country that we don't know of?
Millions more, that were from Apartheid and sold to unknowing chines to punish blacks....
Yes. We need more unemployment. Too many people coughing up taxes. Let's all just chill and stop working
lol which taxes are you talking about because the company doesn’t adhere to any laws what makes you think they are paying tax
Viva R 350.00 grant viva why are they also not inspecting those employed there if they are also like most Supermarket workers that are collecting SASSA whilst being employed. Also although this factory might not be adhering to some labour laws (the most corrupt dept in South Africa) they are still making purchases for goods Vat is added to almost everything so they are paying tax. This is just a sham anyways as everyone now wants publicity to show they are apparently working whether you are part of this GNU government or against it everyone wants publicity in a few months from now you wont see videos like this
Are the owners of this business here legally?
Then what happens to the injured individuals?
Go shop to shop in Johannesburg cbd
Unfortunately we still need to learn as a nation. Some of the people are RACISTS. Europe does not hide their feelings but but but some are hiding, . Study the population of Black people in Russia, study Chinese how they treat Black people. Study how people who form BRICS treat BLACK PEOPLE. Take everything with a pinch of salt especially when it comes to ANC. WHERE IS BUREA OF STANDARDS?
Chinese as employers are the pits, they never follow the the law of the land they come with slave mentality for employees
But since from 2010.
This guy is a bit unsure and is saying “you have to be confident” that you find them the next time you go there. Why did they not call other departments for all aspects of this inspection to be covered. Yet another clueless government official. Shame man, I feel sorry for him.
Who dressed this man 😮
Chinese will now leave this factory as is and leave ..therefore now 115 workers sit without of work and this effects 400 mouths just on the workers side never mind the places they spend there salaries that loose money ...then the business suports around 2000 people plus now lost turnover 😅just the way it was done ...instead of solving futre you guys destroyed future 😢😮ill like to see if you guys are even qualified to be in yout current position 😮
You are narrow minded. You would have complained if something went wrong there as well.
that business "void" will be filled by a more compliant local business.
Man, you all need to find work in your own countries. Go open spaza shops in your own countries. SA is estimated to have 15 million illegal immigrants a lot who are being employed because of ANC lax governance. Sorry mate, this New Home office minister ain't playing. South Africans are being side-lined and are called lazy by exploitative employers. South Africans did all of these jobs before cheap labour walked through the door. That Chinese man can go open his factory in Zimbabwe or somewhere else. We need investors to come and employ South Africans not illegals. .
@@zutidad3867 Yehake! So people must continue working in an environment where they inhale toxic fumes and have fingers cut off by unsafe machinery? No UIF to cover them in the case they lose their job because of said injuries?
@@DavidHarsant1there are many vacant factories and offices so no, that factory will stand empty when the company closes and more people will be going without food. So many businesses are closing in SA. They should be more compliant but the red tape, the wasted time, money and effort to get compliant is not needed.
Why is he wearing colourful no colourblocking 👔 tie😊😊is my first time seeing tie MH le me go back to the serious issue here for those who lost their arms running the business unlawful what is going to happen close the factory or deported l want to know
Is this recent? Because that Shirt and Tie is so 1997😂😂
yoh, many companies are going to close. more unemployment is gonna happen. maybe the dept of labour and home affairs are going to create companies and employ SANs themselves according to their laws with compliance
😮
It's a joke
So a Chinese factory.... whatbdidnu expect , dept of labour usless , you have thousands of un employed law students etc why not employ them . As well they need to take note of the DMR now thats a dept with teeth..
