- Things are heating up in the restaurant industry. In the past week, a multi-disciplinary team of Department of Employment and Labour inspectors led an integrated national blitz of the hospitality sector, targeting approximately 2 000 restaurants. They allege restaurants were becoming problematic. To what extent is the Basic Conditions of Employment Act being contravened? What are workers really going through? On the panel is Viwe Mlenzana , Acting DG: Employment and Labour Department, Avi Niselow, Labour Law expert and Wendy Alberts, CEO: Restaurant Association of South Africa.

*😂my sister from Zimbabwe trying to hide in the Fridge 😂 woman of the Year*
ANC has flouted. labour. contractual, anti corruption, financial management laws for 30 years since 1894 and nobody has closed it.
Everyone in the GNU should be proud of ANC achievement because they have certified and approved their performance by sleeping with them.
Farmers have been flouting them since 1652. I don't see you crying for farms to get closed. And your math is wrong.
Farmers been flouting laws since 1652. You should also call for their closure.
@@shubielechesa8836 He is Zimbabwean so he does not know South African dates.
when a restaurant is closed, employees, suppliers, landlord, SARS, utility providers, banks, insurers all, loose. It is a loose loose situation.
You are intelligent. Many people dont understand. Restaurant jobs are for students, teenagers, for them to buy small things
Restaurants operated well before foreigners came, they obeyed the law, they will do it again. SA has a lot of tourists and businesses will comply. I believe its time foreigners seek other places, maybe try Rwanda, or simply return to Zim to create your own businesses. .
Then they must operate without breaking laws, like the rest of us are expected to.
Let them close 🤞🤞.. If they dont want to obey the law.
@@bafilambozo8476 you are really clueless or part of the problem.
you are excusing the restaurant owners minimum wage is the law it means the owners are breaking the law period. The state president the head of state announced the minimum wage they just laughed at him, I guess. I no longer dine out it means my money builds other countries. Working in a restaurant is not a special skill period
Wendy Alberts is not being honest, she knows very well hospitality has been rogue for years now. They know the law they just refuse to abide by it.
The legal age in SA is 15 however the probability legal companies would take a kid whos that young and lacks the final years of schooling is slim. Let alone the dangers of employing a teenager. Gr9 exit certificate was a death sentence for future jobs for kids growing up.
Connected to that most companies can clearly not make a profit if they have to continues train staff meant to be ready to go. A worshop or training facility is a seperate expense to a full time employees expectations.
30% SA education makes foreigners neighbours anf overseas job seekers look far more appealing as 80% pass rates are just a fakeout to the true reality of SA kids poor results poor employee choice. Students protesting and entitlements at universities just puts a fat no on next years employment opportunities.
50% BEE and 30% shares apartheid agendas = lower employment numbers and a cut in profits, but a more stable company with less pitfalls and probabilities of racial/union/qouta issues.
More companies started creating anti-union contracts. Unions have been on a mean streak of getting rid of the staff they suppose to protect. No better anti union than a non SA. Unions really a bigger monster than what they should represent.
Please mate, i worked in hospitality industry for 10 years before open borders, Restaurants hotels were doing just fine with SA workers, unions and all. you will be surprised it was mostly whites working there to pay their rent when they were at university, not even they get a chance now. . These businesses are just ruthlessly exploiting cheap labour for Greed. You trying to justify exploitation. Bottom line argue your foolishness, we need Law and order back in this country in all part of life in SA. You Whites are quick to castigate wrong doing when it comes to ANC but you think you can flout the law. Accountability is not just for politicians its for everyone. There is no need for unions if workers get treated fairly. Not once when I worked in hospitality did anyone of us want to run to a union because we were paid and treated fairly.
The labour brokers are the main reason the sector has collapsed, they double dip as labour consultants, while in the meantime ensuring that employers keep them on retention, with the promise of assisting to lower the operational costs.
What obout restaurants from the farms?
Waiting for WC to do it, if they don't DA is protecting them.

According to the Labour Dept. They visited 2000 restaurants all over the country, including the Western Cape.
Wendy must resign, she is incompetent and a ‘DEI hire’
Abahambe! 😡
The truth is restaurants are barely surviving and any small push, will see many close, money does not grow on trees
they survived very well with paying South Africans proper wages and tips was ours. i worked in that industry when I was at university. don't worry they will remain open.
If you cannot comply then you are running a criminal enterprise and you might as well be closed down
You know restaurants don't pay, when white people aren't in that industry
So they must exploit poor people? Are the owners poor?
How about asking why lately we pay so much more for so much less! Especially protein!!!😡
Man checkers pushed up their prices on a Sunday morning thats an utter scam. Worked in retail and Saturdays aint a promo ending date. Sunday last hour is 1 thing the morning is not. Pre elections petrol $93 a barrel now 75 but barely R4 off and food has gone up continuesly even with loadshedding relief..
Anc will tell you its bcz of the ukraine war 😅
Vegans warned you 😂
Papoose, yaba balenga shu manasu. Open the borders baba!
Wooo
what the restaurant pay is more than social grants. How about the fat salaried labour officers, applying labour laws to increase social grants to R 20,000 per person per month.
No need, the jobs vacated by the foreigners will go back to South Africans who did those jobs perfectly well before.
@@Tinker8531
There have always been foreigners doing low paid jobs like waiters and cleaners, for as long as I can remember.
Where have you been living? This is nothing new.
@7:20 the guest says foreigners that are in South Africa deserves to work, now, the question is, which law allows that currently?...or is he advancing his own opinion?...
