Phetoe said we calling on the Department of labour to do a full inspection on those matters, second is the Department of Education, Health and Agriculture must demand full compliance of those security companies and make sure that by the end of this week Friday or next week Friday that all workers who have not been paid must be paid.

“Cosatu is compiling a list of security companies to name and shame those who haven’t paid workers” Phetoe added.
