The news publication stated that the workers sought help after allegedly not getting paid for three months.

The report further states that when Leeroy does decide to pay them, it's often in small amounts.

A source told the publication:

“This has been going on for a long time. Sidambe used to pay them on the 7th or 8th of the month, but now he’s [making irregular payments] again. Some of the guys don’t even have money for transport. This man needs to be put in his place or government should give someone else the tender, because he’s failing.”

Both Mihlali and Leeroy get dragged over salary disputes

The businessman, who grew in popularity for dating beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase, has been dragged for living lavishly while his employees suffer.

The source continued:

“Leeroy did what he does best by postponing the payment date. I wonder how he’ll pay them this month when he still hasn’t paid last month’s salaries. He and Mihlali are disgraceful. They’re busy spending money they don’t have on expensive clothes and trips, while their employees are going to bed on empty stomachs.”

The workers now want Sassa to terminate the contract with Sidambe's company so they can work for another company that would make timeous payments.

Netizens drag the businessman on social media

On Twitter, netizens were unimpressed by this report and have dragged Leeroy for unscrupulous behaviour.

"He must be arrested."

@Unathi_jam said:

"The office is in Sandton, close to the mall, all the security must visit him for a chat."

@MmaneWinnie commented:

"I don't understand why government departments keep on giving him tenders. He is very cruel. Always paying employees late."
