We could have been a jewel of the world... @MYANC is beyond repair, totally incapable of running the country and nothing can ever change this, not now, not in the future. Vote wisely! | 0 |

| 1625748248538370049 | @brandonn_journo @WeekendArgus @IOL Its still not over though, these cases may have been won at CCMA but Labour Court has the final say. As far as I know, there is no win yet. My case was referred straight to labour court due to the complex nature of the case. The process has been unfair towards the employee. | 1 |
