Ekurhuleni inspection finds Twinsaver compliant, one undocumented worker arrested
Twinsaver has been praised for complying with labour, immigration and workplace safety laws during an unannounced inspection in Ekurhuleni, although an undocumented foreign national employed by a subcontractor was arrested.
Twinsaver, a manufacturing company in Ekurhuleni, passed an unannounced inspection by government authorities on Tuesday. The inspection, conducted as part of a joint operation by the Employment and Labour Department, Home Affairs, police, and the City of Ekurhuleni, found the company largely compliant with various regulations. Twinsaver's directly employed workers had valid contracts, payslips, and personal protective equipment.
Deputy Minister Jomo Sibiya praised Twinsaver, stating that it is a South African company complying with all laws and regulations. The inspection found no undocumented foreign nationals employed directly by Twinsaver. However, an undocumented foreign worker was arrested while working for a subcontractor at the factory. The company had assured authorities that it would improve oversight of subcontractors.
Twinsaver's performance stood in contrast to other inspections, where concerns were raised about alleged underpayment, safety issues, and possible employment of undocumented workers. The City of Ekurhuleni also praised Twinsaver for its up-to-date municipal payments.
