Solidarity goes to Concourt over race criteria for Covid-19 fundingThe union has also laid a perjury charge against small business development minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni It is wrong , the very same black owned companies do not employ the masses , and very same black affected employees will cry when they they laid off. Sadly a great number of BEE companies is just there to suck money from government to enrich themselves. Their friends failed. Solidarity has my support.
