Businessinsider.co.za | Retailers ‘can be super-spreaders’, labour dept warns as sector flouts Covid safety rules

coronavirus retail

Safety and health in the retail and wholesale industry is the labour department’s biggest concern. (Image: Getty)

  • The labour department says wholesalers and retailers are some of the biggest transgressors when it comes to Covid-19 safety and health practices.
  • The department says it is paying particular attention to the sector because it has the potential to be super-spreader events.
  • Others allegedly failing to comply with rules include the construction and financial services industries.
  • For more stories, go to www.BusinessInsider.co.za.

Retailers and wholesalers in the Western Cape have been issued with the most contravention notices for ignoring Covid-19 health and safety protocols, according to the department of labour.

Other problem areas include the Free State, the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Mpumalanga, says acting spokesperson for the labour department Musa Zondi. 

Over 1,180 contraventions have been identified at companies in the retail sector nationwide, adds Zondi. In addition, 236 prohibitions have been issued, and 411 improvement notices handed out.

Other types of businesses may also be at fault, but a lot more inspections are being conducted in the retail industry because of the high number of people visiting stores, according to Zondi – and the potential for trouble that brings.

“The number of the actual inspections determine whether there’s a lot more findings against a particular industry or not. And the reason why wholesale and retail was critical for us is because, if you look at the issues of Covid, it’s particularly important because there are so many people that walk into a supermarket,” says Zondi.

The department has previously found some retail stores did not have proper risk assessments in place, with poor sanitisation. In some cases, staff did not wear the necessary personal protective gear.

“If things are not done properly, those become super-spreaders. It was important that to define those areas that have the potential of being super spreaders and do as much inspections as possible,” he says.

The labour department has three types of notices for non-compliance:

  • An improvement notice, where a company is given a warning and asked to resolve the issues flagged by the inspectorate. Improvement notices are issued for minor transgressions.
  • The second notice is a prohibition notice where operations are halted until the employer addresses all the concerns flagged by the department.
  • Failure to comply leads to a contravention notice where the employer is expected to appear before a labour court.

Other sectors the department says it found flouting rules include the construction industry, agriculture, financial services – particularly call centres and ATMs – as well as hospitality and manufacturing.

News24.com | JUST IN | Court finds Hawks arrest of Norma Gigaba unlawful

You Need Posted on by

Norma Gigaba reacts inside the North Gauteng High Court.

Norma Gigaba reacts inside the North Gauteng High Court.

Phill Magakoe, Gallo Images

  • Norma Gigaba was arrested by the Hawks last July on charges of malicious damage to property and crimen injuria.
  • Her lawyer, advocate Dali Mpofu, argued that another motive for her arrest was to “punish her” for daring to confront her husband, Malusi Gigaba.
  • The High Court also ruled that information on her electronic devices be restored.

The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has ruled that the warrant of arrest for Norma Gigaba and its execution by the Hawks was unlawful.

Judge Cassim Sardiwalla – in a lengthy judgment handed down on Thursday – made the following order:

  • Norma Gigaba’s application is granted on an urgent basis.
  • The decision to apply for the warrant of arrest is unlawful.
  • The decision of Hawks officials to execute the warrant of arrest is unlawful.

In addition, the court ordered that the confiscation of her information and communication technology equipment was unlawful and as a result the Hawks have been ordered to restore all information unlawfully removed from her equipment.

Lastly, the Hawks were directed to return the information which was downloaded from her electronic gadgets.

READ | Norma Gigaba: Arrest by Hawks was a ‘favour’ for Malusi to teach me a lesson

This comes after Norma Gigaba, who now goes by her maiden surname Mngoma, challenged her arrest by the Hawks in the High Court, arguing that it was nothing more than a “favour for her husband”, former finance minister Malusi Gigaba.

The court previously heard that, in addition to contending that Norma Gigaba was arrested as part of an unlawful scheme by the Hawks to seize her devices and delete material from them, her advocate Dali Mpofu, argued that “another motive might have been to punish [her]” or to “teach her a lesson” for daring to confront him and his questionable “friends who apparently aided and abetted his nefarious activities in all spheres”, News24 reported.

Meanwhile, Hawks advocate Dawie Joubert argued that there was “no justification” for her to turn to an urgent civil court to challenge the pending criminal case against her, before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court.

The former minister’s estranged wife was arrested by the Hawks in July 2020 on charges of malicious damage to property and crimen injuria.

It is unclear how this decision would impact her prosecution before the magistrate’s court. She is due back in the said court on Friday.
