Poem: Section 189 no 189A

Musa Langa

Hey Bo Msebenzi qapela, Bheka qapela uzodilizwa Hey Bo Msebenzi, buka, phepha, Lento iza ngamagama amaningi, Lento iza ngezindlela zayo

Uthi umlungu akasena mali Uthi umlungu “it’s based on operational requirements” Uthi umlungu yi retrenchment Uthi futhi yi staff optimization

Kanti yini lena, Iyini lento? Awu saphela isizwe, Lafa ilizwe. When will this end? When will it rest? Uthini uschedule 8? When is it substantively fair? When is it procedurally fair?

Ngempela ngempela, who decides? Safa yi CCMA. Siyakhala Siyancenga Sisizse Labour Court . Kanti koze kube nini? When is it justified? What is a reasonable option? What is a reasonable employer? What is a fair employer?

What would you regard as consultation? The fact that you Do not have a say? The fact that you cannot disagree. Is being told consultation? Will it feed your children? When does it become a joint problem solving exercise?

Is it your problem or the employers? Do you ever get solutions? Do the solutions save lives? Do they give you a job? What is a meaningful joint consensus? Kahle kahle uthini u s189(2)? Does it solve your problem?

Saphela isizwe yi Staff optimization Safa isizwe yi Managing of staff numbers Saphela isizwe yi Alternative Strategy Safa isizwe yi Retrenchment.

Call it what you may I call it unemployment!
