EFF leader Julius Malema will visit different institutions including hospitals, security and farms to determine employment ratios between South Africans and foreign nationals.
The party visited restaurants on Wednesday to assess the employment ratio of locals and foreign nationals.
Addressing media, Malema said the visits were not a fight against foreign nationals, but to challenge business owners who refuse to hire locals so they can exploit foreigners.
“We will be visiting different institutions from time to time. This is not a one-off thing. We will also visit different institutions, especially where we get tip-offs, in the security industry, hospitality industry and farms,” said Malema.
Malema said the EFF will continue assessing the employment ratio in different branches, regions and provinces.
“The confrontation should not be with the employees. No foreigner should be a target of assault by any of our people. And no person should speak of [wanting] 70% or 90% South African [employees], that’s the kind of madness we don’t wanna hear.”
