Pebetsi Matlaila is currently fighting a battle with the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA) and her nanny over unfair dismissal claims.
According to Pebetsi, her now-former nanny asked for favors and made ridiculous excuses, some exaggerated. She also mentioned an incident where the nanny asked for money in advance after working for just a month and a few days.
Some of the stories include; owing a loan shark R10 000, they abducted her child and were willing to release her only if she pays half of the amount. Then she made claims that they are following her to work endangering her life. As a single mother who cares dearly for her daughter, she decided to let her nanny go.
“I am seeing flames at this time (all because) I tried doing good by giving a person a job (not knowing) that same person will land me in such a predicament,” she expressed.
After witnessing the dishonesty of her worker, she decided to let her go, which resulted in her being served with papers.
“For the first time in my life I am faced with legalities that I never thought I would come across, because I am such a good person.”
