For more than a decade, Bonangani Patricia Sithole has reported for duty as a patrol guard for Mafoko Security, where her R6,000 salary provides for over 10 relatives who are solely dependent on her.
However, the 36-year-old said her tenure at the company has been one of delayed payments, debts and financial uncertainty.
Sithole is among several Mafoko Security patrol guards who claim they have not been paid for two months. The workers told Sowetan that though they were told that their contracts would end on December 31, they were still scheduled to report for duty from January 1 and have been going to work since.
