DURBAN – More than 300 MK Party supporters brought traffic to a standstill on Durban’s South Coast road on Friday before their blitz on businesses employing foreigners.
Labour desk co-ordinator Bongumusa Mhlongo said they were responding to public calls about a lack of jobs as some companies were employing undocumented foreigners.
“We notified companies we would be coming to root out those flouting employment laws. We have also been reliably informed some companies are not paying adequate salaries and wages. It’s something we condemn,” said Mhlongo. He said logistics companies in the area were known to employ foreign drivers.
Some businesses were closed after hearing about the planned demonstration.
