Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Lush Haircare,the new company that was recently visited by Commerce,Industry and Trade Minister Mancoba Khumalo at the Ngwenya Industrial Site, allegedly pays its employees a mere two hundred and thirty Rands(R230.00) per-fortnight.<\/b><\/p>\n

When questioned on Friday evening,Lush Haircare Manager identified as Mr Ravi failed to give a specific answer why the employees were \u2018underpaid\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Manager told this publication that they were paying according to a Government Gazette.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends how many days they worked, we are paying as per Government Gazette,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

But when asked to clarify the number of days worked by the employee who received the R230.00, the Manager became emotional and demanded to meet this journalist so that he can explain further.<\/p>\n

Evidence in our possession suggests that one of the employees received a mere R230.00 as a salary on Friday, the 12th May 2023.<\/p>\n

Wander Mkhonza, the Secretary General of the Amalgamated Trade Union of Swaziland(ATUSWA) confirmed that Lush Haircare was reported to the union for underpaying employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true, that company was reported to us for underpaying employees and we have launched an investigation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The ATUSWA Secretary General said on the issue of the R230.00, it might be possible that the company was breaking the law by rotating the employees to work a few days.<\/p>\n
