Zero or One, my book, is now available on Apple Books for free.

I have decided that people need to read this and it should not be blocked by money. Money is not important, my message is though.

Much Love!

While police corruption and misconduct thrive in #SouthAfrica at least we know our noodle economy is being protected.

@MYANC When was this former glory?

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@HamiltonMorris I would love to have a chat about my psychedelic history and the strange tolerance I seem to have, maybe bounce some ideas around.

@KKhoabane @Olivia_LaGrange Who said I am not patriotic? What is even happening here?

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

What does this even mean? 😞 #southafrica

[Khoisan @KKhoabane]

@nortons9th @Olivia_LaGrange You are not. Go fly a kite there by Australia or America

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@LCabonena I am trying to find the official stats for this but I can’t find them. Where can I view them?

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@ThaBongc @MKAYMAMPONE Ok man. I understand.

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@KKhoabane @Olivia_LaGrange I was born here… so were my parents. How am I not South African?

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@ThaBongc @MKAYMAMPONE I understand that, and it’s a great thing. It’s patriotic, proud, strong, determined. That’s amazing. Not everybody is the same though. Have you thought about how you might feel if the roles were reversed? If you were born in a country that you didn’t feel that passion about?

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@KKhoabane @Olivia_LaGrange I am South African 🤔

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@Nino_Gaggi_ @_Tee__G I understand that. But the same logic could be applied to hiring cheaper labour, for more profit… so is it money, or hamanity?

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@odedanilo I am sure a lot of families changed in good and terrible ways.

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@LCabonena Please let me know where I can see the official stats on this? Thanks

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

The crazy thing is… the South African government allowed this… they didn’t do anything about it before, why will they care now?

[Born-in-SA🇿🇦 @_Tee__G]

‼️We call on all foreign nationals employers to comply with South Africa’s labour laws. Failure to do so may result in legal consequences in accordance with the law.

This is not allowed according to The basic condition of Employment Act

R16 × 8 hours = R128 per day
R16 × 40 hours = R640 per week

Estimated monthly earnings: R2,773.12 monthly

@_Tee__G They just vote poorly.

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

Nah this is where you are missing the point. This man was not hired by a company. He was doing garden work. You are right, you don’t underpay hardworking people. So I would pay him well. More than anyone else that was taking advantage of his work ethic at a low price.

If you have any common sense at all, you can understand that living hand to mouth does not allow you to “save up”. I can’t even “save up”. So maybe you can educate us? How are you saving up for emergencies? All of us could probably benefit from your insight.

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@Thammi_007 @_Tee__G The 50k I mentioned is just for the bike. No petrol, no services, no repairs, if they make more, then that’s great, I just think the company could reduce the amount payable if they want to truly help.

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@KagisoMokaleng1 @_Tee__G 💯

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@Mlandzeni1 @_Tee__G Thank you, I am not aware of how much they pay. It is rent to own, but still, R50k is a lot. If they really wanted to help, they should decrease that amount.

[Shaun Norton @nortons9th]

@Nino_Gaggi_ @_Tee__G I would assume that if these companies really wanted to help they would not charge so much… but money always wins I guess.
