Factory raids in KwaZulu-Natal and court cases have exposed the rot, but what are the solutions?

The clothing industry in KwaZulu-Natal is being hammered from all sides, says eThekwini Clothing and Leather Association Chairperson Iqbal Ismail, "but nobody is willing to sit down and discuss real-world solutions".

High-profile government raids have exposed "sweatshop" type working conditions in some of the Cut Make and Trim (CMT) factories in which clothes are made on behalf of retailers. Meanwhile, factory owners complain that the prices they get for their goods from retailers make it impossible to comply with labour laws.

Ismail says the focus on "sweatshops" dates back to 2024 with the establishment of political party labour desks focusing on undocumented immigrants working in factories.

"MKP particularly has been going around calling for foreign workers to be replaced by South Africans. This appears to have spurred both the local and the national government to start conducting raids, and those raids have caught the attention of the media. Now we face a situation where we are being hammered from all sides, but nobody is willing to sit down and discuss real-world solutions," he said.

The industrial town of Newcastle, home to between 140 and 300 clothing factories (the municipality lacks basic data on this sector), has come under particular scrutiny. In March 2024, ActionSA led a march to the Department of Labour in Newcastle, demanding immediate action and inspections of factories in eMabodheni, the town's industrial precinct. This was followed by factory raids by the police in November 2024, during which 268 "illegal immigrants" were reported to have been arrested.
