A Congolese conman hired South African professionals in their fields and asked them to work from his bedroom because, “we are family,” as he would repeat when the issue was raised.
A reliable source contacted The Gauteng Journal to share his tale of the Congolese Bedroom Bully that harassed and victimised male employees whilst throwing parties and asking female employees to work from hos bedroom.
At one time, it is said the bedroom bully boss unprofessionally fired two male managers because they challenged how he ran the company through suspicion and victimization. One of his managers had been appointed a non-executive director for an international organization, and after updating his LinkedIn profile, the bedroom bully called him on a Sunday evening to ask “I heard you got a new job”. In disbelief of why at CEO level, the bedroom bully could not distinguish the difference between an executive director and a non-executive director, the manager gave him a soft lecture. This landed him in increased victimization, which led to him and his colleague receiving unfair dismissals.
The same Congolese bedroom bully has gone on record, fabricating consumer stats for the business.
There are labor cases in the session in South African labor courts against this man and his company.
The conduct described above contravenes with the Employment Equity Act (EEA), which prohibits discrimination and harassment in the workplace, especially based on factors such as gender and nationality.
Additionally, the actions reported may violate the Labour Relations Act (LRA), which outlines fair employment practices and mechanisms for dispute resolution, suggesting a disregard for employee rights and due process.
The alleged coercion of employees to work from the employer’s bedroom and arbitrary dismissals could run afoul of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), which sets minimum standards for working conditions and termination procedures.
Fabricating consumer statistics, as purported, likely breaches the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), designed to prevent deceptive business practices and ensure transparency and fairness in commercial transactions.
