[@1Bhishu]

What is it that the employers really admire from foreigners that locals don't have? There's a number of reasons why South African employers choose foreign workers than locals. 1 work ethics. No employer want someone who threatens them with violence or rude to them. 2 time-line. All jobs have a dead line especially construction. As an employer and you may have mixed some chemicals that hardens in a short time but when you ask locals to push a bit and have their break in an hour's time or less in most cases locals will be like no, its my time and i have to seat. That delays the job and cost money and time as the employer may have to go and buy more chemicals. Locals dont come to work after weekend, that's a disease and clients have targets. 3) Drunkenness at work. 4)laziness mostly in construction. Complaining too much about how heavy the job is but forgetting that is the reason they are hired. They forget that if it wasn't going to be heavy i would do it myself. 5)Rudeness is a problem in restaurants or hospitality industry in general. We can't have people who talk back to clients, they are the same people bringing us business. 6) South Africans don'tlike working overtime, weekend or holidays but farm produce don' t have any of that. Produce would spoil because someone doesn't prefer to work on weekend or holiday.7) I'm sure we all want to employ someone who knows what they want. Hiring someone who came specifically for work from far away lands is like finding a needle in the middle of the ocean. This is one side of the story why employers prefer foreign people as workers than locals 1)Most companies employ foreign nationals to avoid paying tax, uif, insurance. 2) They employ foreigners so that they won't pay them accordingly

So it’s best to break the law and employ undocumented immigrants ? Employers should face the full might of the law.

[@ShirleyMoloko-rs5tp]

Cheap labour, environment without labour regulations and avoiding proper distributive justice, and also fomenting enmity between Black people. Despoilation and exploitation are what an employer hankers after from uneducated illegal immigrants. And you, foreigners, walk blank into the trap!

Do we understand that the economy of South Africa is built on migrant labour? From the 1800s when the apartheid state discovered gold and diamonds, and in the farms, the South African economy has always thrived from the exploitation of migrant labour. Migrant labour has made SA the biggest most developed economy in Africa. To date, most industries thrive from the migrant labour.

[@Skhamnini]

We do and we trying to change that. Whats your point.

[@not.likely]

This is so easy to understand.The Trade Unions protect lazy South Africans as do the SACP. They create sheltered employment for low to zero productivity, same as government doess. SA has historically always imported labour for use on the mines. Why?, because South African labour is highly problematic. SA should by all means support open borders and use whatever labour it chooses to from the continental pool. Only then will SA grow again. At the same time, government is also not required. What do they do for SA based on what we can see and experience. Answer, NOTHING!

The Combat inspection group must visit the Western Cape and start with the restaurants in Waterfront. Unfortunately our immigration law under amendment does not allow us to detain and deport illegal foreigners, they get off easily on warning or with a suspended sentence or payment of a fine not more than one thousand rand. In fact as the justice department we deported most illegal foreigners but they come back next week coz unfortunately they are worse off in their countries, we have no border entry controls - Most Zimbabweans just walk into the country or take a taxi/bus and unfortunately our home affairs does not even have the capacity to assist the foreigners that are willing legalize their status in the country. Please invite Thabo Mbeki and Zuma and ask him about the arms deal and why he prioritized financing his arms deal while most South African citizens died due to lack of funds for HIV/AIDS treatment. We still need answers.
