REPLIES TO READERS’ COMMENTS

WITH reference to Wendy Wienand’s letter on no response after 15 months for a worker injured on duty (“No response after 15 months”, June 1), I have been waiting since 2013 for workmen’s compensation. I have been handed over for medical expenses and I have even sent registered letters to the office, but no response. Is there anyone out there who can advise us what to do?

“IGNORE fine that arrives in post” (June 2): what about SMSes on your phone that you have an outstanding fine? Is that the new way of sending out fines?

MOTORIST

“TAKE action on traffic issues” (June 1): driving through the KwaDwesi intersection is mayhem. This happens daily, worsening during peak hour. To the relevant parties, please do something. The congestion is making it difficult for cops to enter the police station.

SORT OUT PROBLEMS TOGETHER

MY advice to the municipality is to sit down with the unions and sort out your problems. If the refuse workers go on an illegal strike, fire them.

GET RID OF JZ AND HIS GOVERNMENT

JZ and your government are going down. Come now, SA, unite. Don’t be blind, get rid of the ANC thieves now, but do not forget Nelson Mandela. Our youth, vote for your future!

PLANS FOR MOTOR FACTORY

THE BAIC factory buildings to be built by a Chinese company using Chinese workers and Chinese steel? I don’t think so.

QUITE A JUMP IN JOB DESCRIPTION

GOSH, that’s quite a jump from a “laser technician supervisor” (“Neckpiece dispute leads to suspension”, May 22) to an “engineer” (“Necklace-wearer cleared at hearing”, June 1). Only in SA journalism.

NOT SUPRISING MONEY DISAPPEARED

ARE you surprised that out of R1-billion that was supposed to go to the drought-stricken areas, they only received 5%? The rest was allegedly stolen.

INTRIGUED BY GIGGLE

I'M intrigued by the giggle our president gave each time he mentioned “Christians” during his speech. Any explanations forthcoming?
