The mushroom farmer’s employees in KZN face lay-offs after fire amid ongoing wage negotiations.
Njabulo Dlamini, a farmworker, dreads the future after a raging fire ripped through almost half of the Denny mushroom farm where he works in Shongweni, west of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal last Friday.
Dlamini* depends on his job to support himself, his wife, children and his mother. He recalled the moment he received the news that his workplace, owned by the JSE-listed Libstar Holdings, had been almost razed to the ground.
“I left work early and the fire broke out around 4:30pm. The news of the fire was extremely disheartening. I went into immediate panic mode, concerned with how I will provide for my dependents,” Dlamini said.
