Dear Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services,

Be pleased to take note that our department of labour violates our women's fundamental rights to fair lanour practice. The retails subjects them to work after 18h00 and do not provide any means of transport for slavery minimum wage. Mostly are categorised as permanent casual work while the labour law provides that every employee who has worked for more than three months is permanent but our Labour Courts and CCMA to implement this laws. This country remain colonised in that only lip service is practiced for the benefit of the white capitalist monopoly. Particularly women who have to leave their work late without transport become victims of rape within the Jo'burg CBD that is foreign owned and hijacked. Where are the women of 1956 because currently we experience self interest women who practice pulling her down syndrome against fellow black women. Section 20(1) of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997 Sectoral Determination 9: Wholesale and Retail Sector provides that night work means work performed after 19h00 and before 17h00 the next day. Sub-section 20(2)(a) and (b) also provides that An employer may only require or permit an employee to perform night work, if so agreed and if the employee is compensated by payment of an allowance at a rate at least 10% of the hourly wage for every hour or part of an hour that the employee works, and transport is available between the employee's place of residence and workplace at the beginning and end of the employer's shift. Shoprite Checkers is the most untouchable and above the law retail which practice slave trade and employ foreign nationals to make profit with cheap labour.
