Pretoria - A Silverton Business Park company will undergo sensitisation and courses provided by the South African Human Rights Commission after strip-searching 28 female employees following the discovery of a used sanitary pad in the bathroom.

He, Keppler and management at the company had a meeting at the company’s premises yesterday and were happy with the outcome. “Essentially, the search was to check which one of the 28 women was on her menstrual cycle. How demeaning can that get? No one should be put under scrutiny, especially at work. “I cannot begin to explain the anger and violation I experienced when I had to take my pants down and she touched me. That, to me, was a form of sexual abuse,” she said.
