Following allegations of late and non-payment of employees and making UIF and PAYE deductions to wages, despite failing to make contributions to the Department of Labour and SA Revenue Service, Narconon Africa has reached out to Daily Maverick to address the issues highlighted in previous articles.

In a statement sent to Daily Maverick, a member of Narconon Africa’s Board of Directors, Sandile Hlayisi, sought to clear up what he said were “inaccuracies and blatant misrepresentations” published in previous articles about the drug rehabilitation centre’s alleged non-compliance with South African labour laws and the subsequent suspension of employees who spoke to Daily Maverick about the non-payment of wages.

Previous articles detailed how employees alleged that the NPO engaged in illegal labour practices including late or non-payment of salaries, and making UIF and PAYE deductions from wages despite not registering employees with the Department of Labour or the SA Revenue Service (SARS).
