Celebrating Matric Class of 2025

As a continuation of casting the spotlight on the exploitation of security guards, we turn our focus on Mafoko Security. They've been in the news for long with accusations of not treating their workers well and not paying salaries on time. This time around political parties and unions are getting involved to put pressure on this company. So we thought to invite them to discuss this issue. Sadly Mafoko Security and the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority ignored our invite. 

Guest: Funzi Ngobeni - ActionSA’s Gauteng Chairperson

Guest: Frederick Mabasa - National Organiser Security Industry at the National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa (NUMSA). He has been working on the case for long

Guest: Jack Bloom - DA Shadow MEC for Health in Gauteng
