No bail for accused in lions' den drama Independent Online
'Why should employers feed troublesome farmworkers to the lions?' said labour spokesperson Snuki Zikalala. 'The labour laws do not allow that employers may harm their workers at all'.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) said it was shocked and appalled by the reports.
'While this incident is exceptionally brutal, the trade unions know that abuse of workers, ten years after the democratic breakthrough, is still rife. Many farmers still treat their workers as badly as under apartheid,' a statement by Cosatu spokesman Patrick Craven said.------------------------------------------- posted 6:52 AM :: reference link ::
