SELEBI-PHIKWE: Staff of the newly-established Hotel Selebi have accused the hotel director Shaikh Mohammed of forcing pregnant employees to resign from work. They revealed this amongst a list of concerns over alleged gross negligence of labour laws by the hotel management.

One such employee said the director told her to resign because she was heavily pregnant.

“I refused to write such a letter and argued that management should write me such a letter not me because I suspected that it was a plot to get rid of me without paying my dues. As days went by, I was told to go home and only report back to work after delivering my baby,” said a former employee who pleaded anonymity for fear of reprisals.
