Politicians do a lot of talking. That, we know.
But what happens when candidates don’t allegedly walk their own talk?
Rasheed Gutta campaigned on an economic reform and job creation ticket during the 2024 elections. He also happens to run a furniture company, Riegut Marketing and Home Italia. And it’s from here, that the whistle is being blown by former employees who claim that Gutta pays below minimum wages, that both UIF and provident fund contributions are missing, and that on-duty injuries are left unattended.
When the Department of Employment and Labour corroborated the veracity of the labour law violations, #TheDeviShow met up with the politician and presented the contradictions.
