Please help me get this email to Woolworths South Africa, i have tried to email, call, go to their Head Offices to no avail.
<p>Dear Woolworths,</p> <p>I am getting in touch with you regarding my cousin a 25 year old named Khanyisa Mgobozi who worked for you for 3 years more than 2 years ago.</p> <p>Im sure someone in your management is already aware of him being in a car accident en route to work the night shift being driven by your driver, which left him with a fractured spine for which he had to have a metal plate put in to hold his spinal cord in place. i do not have to tell you how negatively this has affected his day to day life.</p> <p>Following 2 months in the hospital Khanyisa came back to work for you, he was working as a supervisor for stocktaking i believe, unfortunately due to the powers that be in your company he had to quit due to the fact that he was being forced to perform manual labor which he is not able to perform due to his medical condition which he sustained due to your negligent driver who drag raced his way through Khayelitsha.</p> <p>My cousin who has two retired parents who depend on him, following quitting from your company went on to work for Shoprite where he got fired due to his inability to perform manual labor involving heavy lifting.</p> <p>What i find astonishing and completely appalling about this whole issue is the fact that your company did not even bother to offer him assistance of any sort, a 25 year old 100% healthy young man who prior to working for you and having his life negligently endangered by your diver was a vision of health, is now not able to live out his dreams, work, save money and go back to study Mechanical Engineering which is and has always been his dream.</p> <p>Khanyisa since getting fired from Shoprite has not been able to keep a job because he has no Higher education, work that is in his demographic involves heavy lifting or strenuous manual labor, you are responsible for this and he has appealed to you to help him with a job that he is able to do bearing in mind his inability... to no avail it has been years now of him trying to put his life together, this boy was on a roll with in two years he had been promoted to supervisor by you because of his hard work, smarts and determination now all of that has gone down the drain and he is suffering from depression and he lives of of his parents pension, WHY? is this what your company stands for? exploiting people and discarding of them when they are no longer of use to you?</p> <p>And yes he quit himself, no one fired him but it was either that or he would have ended up being wheelchair ridden thanks to your slave drivers.</p> <p>Why has no one from your company reached out to him and offered him help? you are ware of what happened to him and he is out living in the gutter with his aspirations wasted, this is a young man who does not and has never before smoked or drank alcohol, he has always lived his life on the straighter narrow, followed a path he envisioned for himself and made both his parents very proud. do people have to sue corporate companies for you to hold yourselves responsible are there no human beings with empathy in your offices?</p> <p>I am personally appealing to you to help him with a job suitable for his condition, help pay for his education and help pay his medical bills which have became my responsibility and i do not at all think this is fair. his parents raised their son well in hopes that being at the age that they are at right now he would be able to sustain himself and help them too. I am hoping that we can find a way to resolve this matter because i am personally not going to let it go until what is fair has been done coming from your end. i look forward to hearing from you soon.</p> <p>Kind Regards,<br /> Tinah Zabezolo.</p>
