SAFTU General Secretary weighs in on the newly instituted National Minimum Wage.
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.
NUMSA’s Frederick Mabasa on SAFM: Mafoko Security’s Failure to Pay Workers
The discussion centres on labour relations and working conditions within the private security sector, with specific focus on:

Treatment of security workers

Employment conditions, wages, and job security

Allegations of unfair labour practices

The role of employers and management in resolving disputes

Union involvement and worker representation

Accountability of private security companies

Impact of labour disputes on workers’ livelihoods and families

Panelists raise concerns about worker exploitation, contractual instability, and lack of adequate engagement between employers and employees. There is a strong emphasis on dignity, fairness, and compliance with labour laws.
