IN TWEETS: EFF visits restaurants in Midrand to oversee labour policies
MIDRAND – EFF's Julius Malema says there should be a balance between foreign nationals and South Africans employed at restaurants.
Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, visited restaurants at a mall in Waterfall, Midrand demanding a meeting with the stakeholders.
Malema said he has scheduled a meeting with the restaurants on January 19, however, the one restaurant’s representative has repeatedly said they are not aware of this meeting. After much debate, the EFF met with the restaurant’s stakeholders and representatives.
We are at Mall Of Africa.
CIC @Julius_S_Malema will interact with the management of this restaurant, to check their labour policies, staff compliment and ensure that our fellow Africans are not exploited and locals are employed to a satisfactory level. #MalemaRestaurantVisit pic.twitter.com/zqPgYXLfpI

In a series of videos on Twitter, Malema explained that the main reason for this meeting was to discuss the ratio of foreign nationals to South Africans employed by restaurants. “All we want is South Africans and Africans to work together. There should be a balance,” he said.
