Shoprite’s Checkers Sixty60 delivery service has recently come under fire over an alleged preference for hiring foreigners, avoiding paying employee benefits, and insufficiently vetting delivery drivers.
Bagraim argued that South Africa’s courts were likely to rule that the drivers were employees due to the fact that many of them worked the minimum number of hours in a month to meet that definition and their remuneration was too low for independent contract work. “Unless the drivers work for a couple of the companies at different times then it cannot be said that they are independent contractors.”
“In other African countries, they may not have gone through a motorcycle licence test or any motorcycle training; they’ve learnt from their friends,” said Jonker.ShopriteAlleged lack of local employees Goolam has gained a reputation for the accuracy of sensitive information they release relating to South African politics and cases of alleged corruption against high-profile individuals.
