Thando Galebosiwe, one of the affected employees, shared the financial strain she endured due to the unpaid wages. Galebosiwe revealed that she had to deplete her savings, emphasizing the ongoing emotional toll despite securing a new job. “I want him to pay me my money; dealing with the court case has been traumatic,” she expressed.
