The Department of Labour in the Johannesburg region has warned employers to
be on a look-out for people masquerading as Inspectors of the Department on the
East Rand.
This follows complaints by various business owners in Benoni that three men
have targeted businesses claiming to be Inspectors from the Department. One
such victim said while one man ostensibly interviewed him, checking on
compliance with labour laws, the other two were busy stealing various
merchandise in his shop.
Labour department spokesperson Zolisa Sigabi said genuine officials would
have their identification cards with their photos and the departmental logo.
She said when in doubt employers are advised to contact the Department of
Labour.
