We have to learn that jobs are not cast on stone, these are simple privileges to excise our services at a fee .... and as stated above workers cannot dictate, it happened to Telkom, Celtel, KDN, Airtel, MTNbusiness, Esso, Agip, shellBP, Caltex even Kenya Railways and now KK among others... as an employee one has to take serious lessons and learn from these.... save and have a plan for your future otherwise we shall always be crying niko na watoto wadogo, niko na loan, mortgage, naomba serikali etc...

Thank you for clarifying what I expect to see in (black) South Africa once this Euro crisis chews away jobs and folks realize they owned nothing but consumption.

The KK staff are exercising their democratic right...if their petition is water...the judge will pee on it and throw it away...just the way I can go to court and try and stop this takeover if Puma offers @Qw 10 bob..

In Kenya even watchies have access to arable land. Anyway, this is not where we come to be religious. Here we are businessmen & capitalists. It is well known the high level of sophisticated trade SA has with Europe & who owns the productive capital. Frankly, if my traditional mkts are shrinking and I lack a quick alternative, people are going to get fired as I reorganize things or deploy capital elsewhere. Simple.

Turns out some of the BEE folks are not the wananchi but the likes of connected individuals. When choosing a BEE partner, some firms were forced to go the 'political' route i.e. choosing political heavyweights or friends of politicians.
