Open letter to the minister of Labour and Home Affairs

This letter is a plea to the Minister of Labour to investigate acts of abuse, corrupt practices, in human labour relations and other acts of unfair, immoral and possibly illegal labour practices on the employees at Cash Bazaar Holdings.

I write this letter with a painful and unforgiving sorrow towards those who perpetrated these acts on me and the poor employees of this citizen owned company after I decided to jump ship, (thanks to the current president's gesture of sponsoring all Form Five eavers for further studies and I hope this letter will go a long way in assisting those (my brothers and sisters) who remained behind, not that they have other options like me.

But now I hear some foreigner or some South African has a shareholding in it which may possibly be classified as a joint venture.

Mr Minister I implore you to go or send your officers to investigate acts of abuse in this company because I happened to be an employee of one of the shoe retailers (viz Taku and Sole Shoes) in this company and honestly I think if there are any acts of inhuman labour practices in our labour industry it is in this company where you will find them.
