The future of 150 workers remains in limbo after the Mzansi Business Forum allegedly told a Gauteng businessman to employ their members or close shop.
Rick Goncalves said that, two weeks ago, he received an unannounced visit from members of the forum. They demanded that their companies and members be employed.
Goncalves and his partners are building a shopping centre on his land in Rondebult, east of Johannesburg.
