Labour Minister Joyce Nonde Simukoko
The Ministry of Labour and Social Security has cleared Horse Shoe Restaurant management in Lusaka over allegations of racial abuse.
Labour Minister Joyce Nonde Simukoko who visited the restaurant this morning where she held separate meetings with workers and management says her ministry’s investigations into allegations of racial abuse by management at the restaurant have proved to be untrue.
Ms Simukoko says the workers talked to by officers from her ministry refuted claims that management has been racially abusing them.
She states that the workers only raised normal challenges that workers face such as transport and over time allowances among other challenges.
Ms Simukoko reaffirmed Government’s commitment to protecting workers from exploitation.
Meanwhile, Ms Simukoko has called on the Police to arrest the people behind the reports that the owner of Horse Shoe Restaurant has been abusing workers and black customers.
She says this is tantamount to alarming the nation as racism is a bad thing not only at a work place but also at national level.
