The Congress of South African Trade Unions has demanded an investigation and immediate deportation of Chinese workers who are allegedly working in the country illegally, reports the Independent Online. The trade union said that more than 240 Chinese workers were brought in the country to work on a construction project in 2015 and are set to continue working until 2018. They have called on the workers to be properly documented and for the government to close any legal loopholes that might have been used to bring them in the country. In a statement, the union said, “We find this totally unacceptable that for a country with over 9.2 million unemployed people, some companies are allowed to bring cheap labour from as far as Asia to work in this country.”
