A South Africa company fired a woman because she became pregnant when she wasn't married and therefore did not comply with its code of conduct that prohibits “amorous relationships between any two persons outside of marriage”. Guess who? @aQuelle of course law.cornell.edu/women-and-just…
To add insult to injury, @aQuelle appealed the court's decision to award her a year's salary. They lost the appeal. Guess how much her annual salary was back in 2008 when this happened? The amount this multi-million rand company didn't want to pay? A paltry R662 a month... #greed
@aQuelle Six years after being dismissed, she was finally awarded the full year's salary of R7943. She didn't get it. She died in a car accident two weeks before the appeals court ruled in her favour. This is just one of the many lives #KwaSizabantu and @aQuelle has destroyed.
@aQuelle For those who think this is long ago - 2008 - let me assure employees still have to sign their code of conduct. Except they don't even get to keep the copy of what they signed, so it's all shrouded in secrecy. This is who you support by drinking that water, South Africa. This.
@aQuelle The second episode of the award-winning Exodus podcast tells Mandi Mnomiya's story. May she rest in peace. PODCAST | EXODUS Chapter 2: The Road news24.com/news24/video/s… via @news24
@aQuelle @News24 You can read @aQuelle's dastardly tactics in court for yourself. Trying to get out of paying a measly R7943 to Mandi Mnomiya for firing her because she dared to fall pregnant when not married. saflii.org/za/cases/ZALAC…
@aQuelle @News24 Two pregnant, unmarried women were fired, but we know Mandi Mnomiya's name because she had the guts to take them to court. Rest in power, Mandi, I'm so sorry for what that cult put you through. For R662 a month. #slavelabour
