Be careful out there, guys. Unemployed people are radicalising to demand the government protects them from unethical multinational corporations, systematic economic abuse, capitalism, and the so-called free market.

"But why didn't you guys speak to..." THIS IS WHY. In our media conversation last year,@WorkersWorldMed's @mzivelapi brought this up as a problem that happens often at Elitsha News. And it's not just officials who do this.

This was my first festive going home as a real migrant (PTA to Jozi isn't real migrancy, I've learnt). Now I know why all you people rush to go home! I was ROYALTY! I also returned home with supplies, including 2kgs of snoek we obvs don't have in CT. What a time. 🫶🏾🖤
