Workplace Concerns at APC Company: Employees Raise Red Flags.

Mamelodi News has received concerning reports from employees of APC Company, located at 316 Marks Street, Watloo, Pretoria, regarding their working conditions and treatment. The allegations, if true, paint a troubling picture of the company's practices.

According to sources, employees have raised several issues, including:

- Introduction of new contracts with less beneficial terms, including removal of allowances and mandatory Sunday work without additional compensation

- Employees being forced to sign contracts without a thorough explanation of the terms

- Implementation of a new shift roster without employee consent, with threats of disciplinary action for non-compliance

- Hiring of foreign nationals without proper documentation

- Allegations of underpayment of employees

- Claims of discrimination, racism, nepotism, and harassment in the workplace

Under South African labour law, employees are protected by various statutes, including the Labour Relations Act (LRA), the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), and the Employment Equity Act (EEA). Some key provisions relevant to the allegations include:

- The BCEA regulates working hours, leave, and remuneration, and employers must adhere to these provisions.

- The LRA governs the employment relationship and provides procedures for dispute resolution.

- The EEA promotes equality in the workplace and prohibits unfair discrimination.

In line with our commitment to balanced reporting, we reached out to APC Company for a response to these allegations. On 2025, June, 18, we sent a written request to the company's representative, asking them to share their perspective on the matters raised. Unfortunately, by the time of publishing, we had not received a response.

Mamelodi News will continue to investigate these claims and provide updates as more information becomes available. We remain committed to presenting a comprehensive and balanced account of the situation, and we look forward to hearing from APC Company in due course.

Update: As of 2025 June, 26 , APC Company has not responded to our request for comment. We will revisit this story if and when a response is received.
