Ex-Marina cleaners take employer to court

Prime Projects hired the workers as cleaners at the Princess Martina Hospital in 2012 at the time government decided to outsource non-essential services such as cleaning.

By midday on Friday the workers were scattered around the labour offices. They said they were told to wait for 30 minutes, as Labour officials tried in vain to reach company directors. The company director, identified as a certain Akim Setswalo apparently sent one of his managers who identified himself as Buzwane to represent him at the second and final hearing. The first hearing was on the 25 August where company representative failed to pitch prompting the official to postpone the matter to last Friday.
