Statement from the De Freitas Family
21 June 2024
As long-standing residents of Lesotho, our family has dedicated over four decades to serving the Basotho community through our beverage business, Station Off-Sales, and our food franchises including Galitos, Dominos, Spur, and Panarotti's. It has been our honour to contribute to the local economy and to be a part of this vibrant community.
We are deeply grateful to the Basotho people for their unwavering support and patronage, which has been instrumental in the growth and success of our businesses. Our employees are the backbone of our operations, and we have always valued their dedication and hard work. It is our policy to treat all employees with respect and fairness, ensuring a positive and supportive work environment.
We are aware of the serious allegations made against our family and our business by a former employee. Please be assured that we take these accusations very seriously. It is crucial for us to thoroughly investigate these claims to ensure that our response is both fair and factual. We ask for your patience and understanding as we conduct this investigation.
At this time, our family is mourning the loss of our beloved patriarch, Frank De Freitas. In our culture, it is vital to observe a period of mourning to honour his memory and legacy. We kindly request the community’s understanding and patience as we navigate through this difficult time.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Paulo De Freitas
Station Off-Sales
