NUMSA Sector Coordinator Frederick Mabasa speaks on SAFM about the ongoing crisis at Mafoko Security, where workers have allegedly gone unpaid. He outlines the hardships faced by security guards, including delayed or non-payment of wages and unpaid statutory benefits, and explains the union’s concerns about labour law violations. Mabasa places the issue within the broader problem of exploitation in the private security sector and calls for accountability, enforcement by regulators, and protection of workers’ rights.
