That's nothing. Come to Cape Town and you'll arrest 3000 a day.

@mikejoneswho6753 They won't, the coloureds are too weak to stand up. I don't blame them, considering the state sponsored distribution of drugs in their areas, coupled with the erasure of their culture and identity.

[@ThattRoger]

@mikejoneswho6753 the race who is the majority in that city and province are too weak. They also have no identity, culture and traditions to protect or fight for. Sad reality.

[@ThattRoger]

Move on to the private security industry next, the greatest threat to our national security.

[@blackrain7206]

Yep.

Look at all industries,what were the labour dept doing all these years.i own a workshop,pay taxes.rmi,miosa,rent etc,10 years ago a group of Mzambiqans just arrived and opened shop on the street,ive complained to various authorities to no avail .the place is full of oil and dirt,im sure other industries are also affected,i for one could have created a few more jobs for our citizens but ended up retrenching a few of my staff,these guys are ruthless and their numbers are increasing exponantially

[@blackrain7206]

The new Home Affairs minister is doing what ANC was scared of doing for 30 years.😂

[@sizakeletwala8033]

SA youth must make use of this opportunity to apply for jobs in the hospitality industry. Thingsxare Shaking up and owners are also shaking, they will do anything to clear themselves out if these illegal situations.

[@simba8665]

[@TheBlackDiamond09]

[@Linda-ly5td]

Private sector in general needs to be visited also. Apply yourselves the very same way you are.

[@SAHopeful]

Why are they worried about UIF? UIF is non compliant with their payouts.

[@truth-Hurts375]

[@simba8665]

Isn't the government working again because white people joined the GNU?

[@MrGhostsword]

This is the right way, labour inspectors much check all, without favour.. give fines.. charge the owners.

[@agoodfilter7139]

[@GreatNationUnitedSACitizeGNUSA]

[@SMediaSA]

Are these actions going to create more jobs for South Africans?, Raiding a Chinese restaurant and expecting black South Africans to be cooking Chinese dishes is a bit confusing.

[@mikejoneswho6753]

I've watched the video twice now and I'm yet to see confirmation of a Chinese restaurant being depicted or raided.

[@SMediaSA]

@@mikejoneswho6753 perhaps you don't know about the raid in Sandton. your ignorance doesn't take away what happened.

[@QhayiyaCobo-ts9me]

​@@SMediaSA Isn't it that the chinese workers don't have work permits but only have visas for visiting?

[@mosaednamolefe3945]

The main issue here. Is compliance. And let's not give people excuses like Chinese staff at a Chinese restaurant. They can still use documented staff

[@SMediaSA]

@@mosaednamolefe3945 why can't the department of Labour extend it's compliance checks to farmers who are still using the dop system especially in the western cape. it is easy to target foreigners to cover for your failures elsewhere. we are still waiting for a single conviction in the state capture looting and I think it's only a matter of time before we start blaming foreigners for state capture as well.
