Ask from the Zimbabwe Embassy first

[@gladysmkhize4085]

Where Zimbabwe ambassador and employers

[@deebeem1789]

Very good question all these evil people are after is to blame black people for their mistakes. How long have the society complained about the employment of foreigners which are abused by the White in Cape town

Why does Media not provide details on how the public can donate to help families that lost loved ones. Just provide it on yr banner on bottom of your screen.

[@IamBarati]

You have money to play with

[@CarmenMulder]

The employers should be helping with repatriation. Absolutely shocking that the workers have been left in the lurch like this. The employers have lost their investment but the workers have lost their lives.

[@deeh374]

Why not ask their embassies.yor it's their citizens!!

[@user-us4kz3zg6v]

Come South Africans let us help our African Brothers

[@DimitriPaulJonas]

raising a good point and it can't be ignored our Country is congested with foreign nationals we are unable to accommodate them anymore due to the high unemployment in the Country.Whether un-documemted or documented it is time the high numbers of foreign nationals in the Country be reduced.What is emphasized here is not Xenophobia,No, it's pure truth.If you have the grazing fields but it can't satisfy your own herd,you cannot allow your neighbors herd to graze in your fields. They must go home and help to rebuild their own Countries.

[@gladysmkhize4085]

The company must help

😢

[@vivienneschwartz906]

Yea I can imagine that translation will Be a concern. People can however expect this to happen. It’s very sad what happened to these workers.

[@deeh374]

We cant go illegally to Zim and still demand hand outs.They got jobs here more than South Africans do. Jobs ,health care etc .Help them to go home!

[@user-us4kz3zg6v]

Is the murders in jail The consulting engineer The site inspector The contractor The site safety officers The site building foreman

[@teresagillmer9464]

They obviously didn't use South African labour because they would have to pay more.Its the developers fault .Blame them

[@rejoicemokoatle8904]

Heartfelt condolences to the friends and families. May they find the required assistance from the employer. I hope they were registered with the Labour Department, COIDA, etc! Otherwise, the employer will have to part with lots and lots of money. This would have been avoided if the employer didn't look for cheap labour. Now it's catching up with the employer. Goedkoop is duurkoop! I hope this is a lesson to employers that even foreign nationals have to be registered and paid minimum wage so that in times like these, COIDA and WCA may be able to assist!

[@lorriemamoet9406]

Claim from the Compensation Fund

[@phumlamazibuko3003]

They are not covered by COIDA so the employer who hired them should compansate them

[@phumlamazibuko3003]

But are not covered by COIDA

[@rejoicemokoatle8904]

Do you believe they were registered?

[@teresagillmer9464]

Remember these people are desperate for work and they are promised things.Blame the developer .

[@deeh374]

The blame should be at the national government and provincial governments doorsteps

[@IamBarati]

When do you blame their governments?

[@teresagillmer9464]

They are desperate for work and people lead them on.Dont blame them .We are all Africans and were we can we can we help oeople in need.

[@nomagcisacawe3297]

We are all Africans, yes, that's why we should respect one another's borders!

[@phumlamazibuko3003]

Illegal foreigners?

[@phumlamazibuko3003]

Illegal foreigners?

[@alettaphalatsi477]

No, when we say they take South Africans jobs we are been lashed out, here is a solid proof, did the developer fetch them from Zim, as many as they were on that construction did they ever thought of SA citizens who don't have jobs? are south Africans not desperate? We arent saying what happened to them is right this is horrific beyond measure, but we are saying we can't assist further no

[@deeh374]

Go to Zimbabwe and see if you will receive the same hospitality over there. As South Africans we are desperate for work and better living conditions as well ,but they get employed .Explain that scenario 🤬

[@gummy3377]

Assistance wanted😮 Always about Assistance really. Zimbabweans should go back and ask your government for help. Why are you here?

[@alettaphalatsi477]

If you ask you are rude and xenophobic yet when crisis come you are asked to assist, let the one who hired them knowing they aren't SA citizens assist with the repatriation, we are assisting them every day with our tax.

Amen Abahambe!!!
