KZN logistics company owner, drivers arrested in raid on undocumented foreigners
KwaZulu-Natal premier Thami Ntuli has vowed to continue a clampdown on businesses that flout labour laws by employing undocumented foreigners.
He was speaking after a raid at Westmead Mining, a Durban-based logistics company where law enforcement officials arrested several workers without documentation.
'We will not tolerate the employment of undocumented nationals or anyone employed without due processes. It must be legal, ' said Ntuli.
The visit follows an outcry from local drivers who complain undocumented workers accept lower wages, he said.
An informer put the number of truck drivers working at the company at 85, said Ntuli. The owner was arrested
More than 135 people were arrested in a crackdown by police for a wide range of crimes in the past two days, he said.
