“…fraudulently received a salary… by failing to declare that he was still under sequestration. He also falsely and wilfully submitted a forged certificate… …has not been rehabilitated since he was sequestered on… 2016”.
“The vandalism of fire hydrants in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo, not only causes thousands of rands worth of damage, but large volumes of water are also lost. Shut off valves from the water taps are stolen and sold for scrap metal”.
(Directly translated from Afrikaans)
Both are from two separate articles, on the same page, of one of yesterday’s newspapers.
Since 2016…
People – family, friends, colleagues – knew about this, and they said nothing.
“sold for scrap metal”…
People – family, friends, colleagues – know who these criminals are.
Business Owners are buying this stolen scrap metal…
People – family, friends, partners, vendors – know who these criminal Business Owners are, and you do nothing to stop it.
Both make doing business in SA more expensive, at the cost of job creation and the creation of wealth for South Africans.
This behavior contributes directly to the corrupt behavior we blame politicians for.
But, you turn a blind eye to it when it is family, friends, colleagues, business partners.
You are the reason husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers struggle to get employment. Struggle to survive. Struggle to provide for their families.
In Afrikaans there is a saying, when translated directly, “Where do you stay? You stay quiet.”
You don’t get to blame politicians, the government, the past, the present, your current employer, the schooling system.
You don’t get to blame anything and anyone.
You don’t get to say anything.
You prey on the weak and poor.
You are a criminal.
You are the worst type of parasite, virus, disease imaginable.
