Feels likes a little boy again

Jul 16, 2012 | Boitumelo Tshehle, North West Correspondent | 21 comments

THE 74-year-old former farm worker living a life of virtual slavery on a farm in Brits, North West, feels like a little boy again. This is because he received an identity document for the first time in his life last Thursday.

And the racist who was enslaving him is still walking free , like I said who ever signed this reconcialiation back in 1994 sold the innocent souls of the majority of South Africans for the sake of getting famous , if u would ask this poor man what he thinks of than who sold his soul to the devil I`m definately sure u will hear an angry voice

Great end to a horrible story.
It is very sad that nothing ever gets done unless the media print the story.

Where is AFRI-FORUM ?, this is tantamount to elderly abuse and Farm-worker murder. Why was the farmer allowed to employ Ntate Mogolo and no one noticed. Pls mense this cannot be allowed and we always blame dot.gov.

Sowetan exposed Mutavhatsindi's squalid living conditions in April this year, when he was earning R300 a month. He did not know the whereabouts of his family or have an ID

This man is from Venda he probably abondoned his family ages ago and found a beatiful Tswana woman who only wanted his money. I don't feel sorry for stupid men like him, he is reaping what he sow.
