Madam Chair, the black people continue to experience racism in their workplace as if they are still living under apartheid. The level of racism in the private sector is shocking and inhumane. For a country with a Constitution that is celebrated all over the world, this means nothing to majority of black people who work for these white-owned companies.
People are dismissed without doing anything wrong; sometimes workers do not get their salaries and are called names. There is a company called Qwaqwa wiring based in Vereeniging, where the owners of this company are racist and treat black workers as slaves. Workers have reported the issue to their labour department, but labour inspectors do not go to this company's premises.
When they do inspection visit, they only talk to the racist owners of Qwaqwa wiring who tell them lies. The Minister of Employment and Labour, and the whole department are ignoring racism that is taking place in these white-owned companies. Like what the DA has done to Mmusi Maimane, we are watching them like quarks. [Time expired.]
