Why did they allowed this booer to operate there at the first place, whites in general should be stopped from doing business in SA at all. Black people should take over this contract and build that mall finish.Report Abuse

Ok I hear you its wrong it suppose to be done in a right way. But who did you pay money too? Show the proof of a deposit slip. Don't tell us you paid it cash and the was no receipt,who in the world of business can do that?By the way you said your name is? Off course Barend Becker you are a lier. They might have told you about employing locals yes it make sense because the very same community will be supporting the mall.
Why must they not be part of the workers?

@mbondo- That is irresponsible. How many bridges, roads and RDP houses built by Black owned and run companies have collapsed. Some few months there were reports that the Minister of Human Settlement has budgeted over R 4 billion rands to re-do the RDP houses built by BEE companies who are closely related to the ruling party. There were reports here in Limpopo that the bridges buil by SGL Engineering have collapsed within a year of them been built. The list is endless. Not every Black company is doing that but what we need is quality, irrespective of the colour.Report Abuse

When , where and how have you ever heard a booer talking positive about anything black , let alone black government. They were talking bad about Nelson Mandela even though he was singing peace and intergration and protecting their business but still wanted to blow his brains out. Whether the black man is doing good or bad , whites and I mean all whites will always talk negative so I am not worried about them whinging. All their business should just be shut down and blacks take over finish. These guys in Limpopo they're doind a finest job by kicking this booer out.Report Abuse

He said the leaders then demanded R105,000, which would be divided among them, for protection from any unprotected strikes.On September 3, he said, Tjatji, Masete and Mabusa demanded a further R105,000 to "close the chapter"

Speechless, this is my home town. Am so surprised. I usually say poor people are a business in a profitable one to politicians. So these guys are doing Labour brokering at the expense of the poor workers. The councilors should be fired from the municipality and their houses and properties confiscated.Report Abuse

@Sowetan: this story, like many others is lacking in content. The contractor's affidavit cannot make up the whole story. Make a trip to Burgersfort and find out the following:1. Did Malepe deliver on his mandate of sourcing a labour force that's evenly distributed in the community or he only sourced his supporters?
2. Why did the contractor even engage the other "leaders" if there's a liaison officer in place who should handle such matters?
3. What do workers on site say about the cause of this "strike"?

Poor Mbondo - would you like some help getting that chip off your shoulder? It is people like you that spread racial discord in a country that can ill afford it. If you don't like it here - why don't you pack your bags and leave. I for one think the country would be better off without people like youReport Abuse

@-Mbondo, you are a stupid grownup that must just be left alone to drawn in you racist thinking. We can ill afford to have people like you in this country who don't know what is it to be a citizen.@Vhamsanda - you right to be supprised but rediculous you are wrong and out of order. You need to visit this town to understand what is going on. There should be more malls because this town cannot be build like Joburg or Petori. There is lot of money going around in this area that the malls being build wont be enough to cater for what is coming. You have ten mines operating in this small area and there still another 15 planned to open in the near future. Wait until you see burgersforth merging with Lyndenburg then you will understand.
