Why
Mondli Makhanya is a frightened man
- 2 July
So, as far as I am concerned, we are still going into battle. Since
the Labour Court case further information has emerged which will
help me deliver on the promise of airing AVUSA's dirty laundry. Some
well meaning people will say that I should drop this case and move
on with my life. To them I would say this. Some men play golf, some
hold poker evenings and some play squash. I prefer an hour of
recreational loathing every morning. I find it puts a smile on my
face and sets me up for the rest of the day. Besides, I don't like
corporate bullies and it's high time AVUSA's unethical employment
activities were subjected to greater scrutiny. I may even buy a
share and go along to the AGM. - Column by David Bullard on the Moneyweb
