Huawei allegedly breached SA's employment equity policy, with its workforce said to comprise 90% foreigners.

A disgruntled South African job seeker belonging to Alexandra Dudula Movement” holds a banner reading Foreigners Must Go Home during their operation to remove foreign street vendors on pavements and stalls in Alexandra township in Johannesburg on February 13, 2022.

According to advocate Fix Bede, the chief director statutory and advocacy services at the department, Huawei was currently the only company on their books that employed more foreigners than locals. She said an audit of the Chinese telecommunications giant had revealed that the company had exceeded the maximum quota of 40%.

Healy also said there were many companies that were hiring more foreign nationals, and it was not necessarily unlawful from an employment equity point of view. “The proposed fine to Huawei of 2% of their annual turnover must be utilised to stimulate job creation and assist small businesses that have been harshly affected by Covid and related lockdowns,” the party said.
