They have been sleeping & getting paid for not doing their work x30 years😢

[@Arti-ficiallyChi]

Go to all the Chinatown malls across South Africa...majority employed in there are not South African and probably not paid fairly either

[@MartinVilakazi-ft9de]

That place will be complete close if they can visit but I know they will receive gratification 😂 for not to close that Mall

[@hgfku-tn6hb]

Unanswered question is why this has been going on for this long. You pretend to be concerned because of that lady who exposed this irregularities

[@Rene-m8m]

you guys just love complaining yerrr, at least they're doing something about the complaints. What can they do now?

[@fatimafranks2765]

Agree

[@ZuesNgcobo]

if we used this logic then we will achieve nothing. Lets say its the fruits of the GNU is that fine>

Where you in South Africa with us when this raids started 2months ago. And they mentioned during the news interview that they are starting with Hospitality and Construction sectors. This operation DID NOT start because of the lady from social media last week .

[@sellomonama7797]

If they don't have work permits, they are not allowed to work in SA. It's like these guys are not serious. How can you tell the public that you don't know if they have work permits or not? I have doubts.

[@ancient_knowledge_7]

The government has shown integrity by extending its focus beyond Gauteng to include other provinces. This effort is commendable and should be acknowledged. It is crucial to maintain this progress, while continuing to support farm workers, petrol attendants, car guards, employees at car washes, as well as our mothers and sisters working in private households.

[@paulisidore6639]

Let us not stop with labour matters we need to put more focus on hospitals and expose those rude and nurses and doctors who are there to collect pay cheques month end.

End of their problem and futher action will be blocked. ANC is on their payroll. Where was the Phalaphala money from? ANC is on the take at the cost of the average South African.

[@jameskillu9171]

closing business for fun, to punish foreigners as if, local employees, suppliers, insurers, landlords, electricity and water suppliers wont loose.

[@Tinker8531]

These businesses functioned very well with South Africans before, they will survive, no need to worry about businesses falling apart in SA. The rule of law needs to be brought back.

[@faithMketo]

Ooh!! You are not concerned about South Africans who are being exploited

[@confidencemalatjie8037]

You are obsessed with SA

[@ntswakimoloi2084]

No business is being closed for fun here.if you care enough about our own being exploited because those illegal foreign nationals are there to accept anything. Shame on you

[@malizoletoli6291]

Go to your country and tell your government to allow undocumented foreigners to be allowed to work

[@tkasiam8322]

After 30 years, people are only starting to work now 🥱
