Unhappy members of the National Bargaining Council for the Private Security Sector say corporate governance standards are being flouted
It should be celebrating two years of existence later this month, but the country’s first-ever bargaining council for employers and workers in the private-security sector finds itself under threat, from both inside and outside forces.
Two internal sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, have raised concerns that one of the council’s most powerful members, the Fidelity Security Group, is attempting to capture the council by having its current interim chief executive, Christiaan Oelofse — a Fidelity employee — made permanent. “You can assume that information of the unions, and the other companies, will be in the hands of Fidelity because he’s their employee — who did not even meet the qualifying criteria for this job — [if he] becomes CEO of the council.”
Fidelity this week referred all queries to the council, saying the council would issue a comment “where necessary”.
