Simunye Workers' Forum media activist Malatji Thuli shares her story
On 19 October 2023 at Pepsico Park, I was busy checking the client stock and the PPT driver hit my left foot and ankle. It was the driver’s fault. They took me to the clinic and transferred me to hospital. The employer put me in the waiting area for four hours without anyone attending to me. They left me there without transport at 8:30pm.
The following day, the employer requested me to come to work even though the doctor had booked me off. I did as they said but I became so sick that they sent me home. And they didn’t give me anything from my injury. And I attended treatment for two months using my own money.
