As long as it is easy to hire and fire. Workers will never have job security. Companies use restructuring as an excuse to fire people. Labour laws and the CCMA should see that workers are protected from racists and egoistic company owners .

And yet the so-called President is saying more woman should be CEO's on private companies, but forgetting how cruel they can be even if their boyfriends or husband are bosses.

Seems like everyone connected to the ANC is set for life with tax payers monies. Valli Mossa has been quiet for some time, now we know why.....he is spending that money with his rude wife. Depressed women, probably not getting the way she wants.

She's the boss' wife and can do whatever. Very much unfortunate but its true... The poor woman must just go to CCMA and hope for a favourable outcome coz it'd be so unfair to become unemployed coz the boss' brainless- bimbo is just being a b#tch...

So everyone else is expected to comply with the laws that governs employment in this country; but if you are connected to the ruling party, then you are exonerated?

This is catch 22 kgomo ya moshate I tell if the Moosa did not fire you the wife was gonna accuse him of an affair with you and then devorce and then Moosa looses his money so to keep his money he had to fire your asss dear. I have always maitained that women are powerfull but what Moosa did to shut his wifes pie hole is wrong I hope the CCMA get him for this!!! He must expect fire works because the CCMA dont play people!!!

Mohseen Valli Moosa, the company's CEO. She believes that the company's decision to "retrench" her was motivated by the fact that she had complained about Moosa's wife. Moosa is a former ANC MP. There were reports in 2009 that the Gauteng government contravened financial regulations by giving Moosa R55-million, in addition to the R80-million he received from the Industrial Development Corporation, to start African Romance. Dare I say more? Pass me that sick bucket over there.

The law is very clear on retrenchments and this does not fall within a proper retrenchment so you stand a good chance Joy. Just make sure you don't get there and cry and cry and forget to present your case. State your case clearly and dont be afraid to cross examine the company witnesses. But I think you will do okay seeing you had the guts to lodge a grievance in the first place.

Joy Makhubele has been fired for not being subservient to the wife of former anc MP Moosa. YOu see what I mean when I say the anc treats blacks as doormats? The sooner black SAns learn to have self respect, the sooner they will out this anc regime of ego maniacs, till then you must suffer consequences of not having self respect and voting like a robot.

I think the beef the Sales Exec has is with the Marketing Director. I`m sure if she had taken the time they could have easily sorted it out privately amongst each other. What i dont get is why she feels the need to involve the CEO and the company in a quarell she had with one person. What boss in the world do u know of who doesnt scream and shout. Not all women bosses are cruel.

This is what life under the DA will be like; an erosion of labour laws and dismissals at will.

Zille thinks current laws hamper development and growth, how does saying one should have valid reasons and follow due process before dismissing an employee hamper growth I ask?
