Western Cape deputy speaker accused of thwarting efforts of labour inspectors

ANC leader in the Western Cape legislature Cameron Dugmore has called for the removal of Western Cape deputy speaker Beverley Schäfer, after she allegedly supported a company that denied access to labour inspectors.

Schäfer stands accused of encouraging the conduct of Snowflake, a bakery, and that of farms when inspectors went to assess their compliance with the Covid-19 coronavirus regulations.

The ANC is alleging that, consequent to this, more companies have refused to comply with inspectors assigned with overseeing compliance in the province.
