Latest / Anele and the Club on 947 / What is the moratorium on bringing up something that is wrong? How long do you have to ask someone?
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wake up with a bang.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Hey, wake up!
- 0:03Speaker 1: Anele and the club on 947. Right now, on Monday,
- 0:08Speaker 1: a colleague of ours came up to me and Frankie
- 0:11Speaker 1: with a problem.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:13Speaker 1: We then found a problem with his problem. And now,
- 0:17Speaker 1: we would like for you to assess whether this problem
- 0:21Speaker 1: that Frankie and I have found, if it's indeed a
- 0:24Speaker 1: problematic problem.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Now what we're going to do is, we've decided now
- 0:29Speaker 3: we're not going to use names.
- 0:30Speaker 1: No.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Because it's a sensitive thing at the office.
- 0:33Speaker 1: So colleague came to us and said that he lost
- 0:37Speaker 1: his H & M jacket at work. And then in
- 0:43Speaker 1: three days, another colleague was wearing the same jacket.
- 0:48Speaker 4: From H & M?
- 0:49Speaker 5: Yes.
- 0:49Speaker 4: Same jacket. The thousand by the thousands.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Yes.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Okay.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Okay.
- 0:53Speaker 1: So then he said to us, And I'm just, what
- 0:56Speaker 1: do you guys think I should do? Do you think
- 0:57Speaker 1: I should approach them? Do you think I should approach HR?
- 1:00Speaker 1: So I said, yeah. I said, one of these will work, okay?
- 1:06Speaker 1: And it will put your little heart to rest. And
- 1:08Speaker 1: then I was like, when was this? And then he
- 1:10Speaker 1: said it was two months ago. I was like, oh,
- 1:12Speaker 1: that jacket is gone.
- 1:14Speaker 2: So to be clear, is the suspicion that the said
- 1:17Speaker 2: jacket that was left in the building is the same
- 1:20Speaker 2: one worn by the other colleague?
- 1:23Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:24Speaker 6: Oh, dear.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Same size, obviously exactly same jacket, you know.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Okay, no.
- 1:30Speaker 6: So, firstly, I don't think that somebody would take your
- 1:32Speaker 6: jacket at work and then wear it to work.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Are you sure?
- 1:36Speaker 6: But also, I think that maybe you should say something
- 1:41Speaker 6: within the... The first time you see the person wearing it, saying, hey...
- 1:45Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, I had a jacket exactly like that
- 1:47Speaker 6: and I left it for work.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Three days ago.
- 1:49Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I would say something on the first time.
- 1:51Speaker 6: I would literally say, is that by any chance my jacket?
- 1:54Speaker 1: So you see, this is where I said to him, sorry,
- 1:57Speaker 1: your jacket is gone. There's no way you want to
- 1:58Speaker 1: come two months later and make a ruckus out of
- 2:01Speaker 1: your jacket. You do it immediately or you leave it.
- 2:03Speaker 1: So this is the discussion. How long are you allowed
- 2:07Speaker 1: to let things slide before you raise it?
- 2:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe there's a moratorium on this as well.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I think... I want to say five business days. And
- 2:15Speaker 3: this counts for anything that goes missing. Like if you
- 2:18Speaker 3: don't report it within five business days or you don't...
- 2:21Speaker 3: It's gone. It's a whole school week. It's one school week.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Let it go.
- 2:24Speaker 3: If your child lost their jersey on Monday and then
- 2:27Speaker 3: two weeks later you realize the jersey's gone, I think
- 2:29Speaker 3: it's gone.
- 2:30Speaker 1: It's gone.
- 2:30Speaker 4: A week is enough.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I agree with Frankie because if you really cared about
- 2:34Speaker 2: the lost item, you would have gone all out to
- 2:37Speaker 2: find it within a week. If I had forgotten the jacket,
- 2:40Speaker 2: for example, in studio... headphones, which happens a lot in
- 2:43Speaker 2: a radio studio, right? The very next day, you go
- 2:47Speaker 2: all out to find your missing item.
- 2:50Speaker 1: But what if somebody's of the belief that something doesn't
- 2:53Speaker 1: stop being mine just because months have passed? It's still mine,
- 2:55Speaker 1: so I'm still allowed to look for it.
- 2:58Speaker 6: I would say, I would say two weeks. Just purely
- 3:01Speaker 6: like as a parent, you know that sometimes your child
- 3:05Speaker 6: brings home somebody else's piece of uniform, let's say, for example.
- 3:09Speaker 6: And then it's gone through the wash and life gets busy.
- 3:11Speaker 6: And then after a while, you're like, hang on, this
- 3:13Speaker 6: is not ours. Like you look in the cupboard, especially
- 3:15Speaker 6: when they get older. You're not on top of everything
- 3:18Speaker 6: that's theirs because you hope that as they're older, they're responsible.
- 3:21Speaker 1: They're on top of it. So I would say two weeks.
- 3:23Speaker 6: And then definitely as adults in the workplace, because we've
- 3:25Speaker 6: got a very good system here, he should have reported
- 3:27Speaker 6: it's missing.
- 3:28Speaker 7: Right.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Straight away.
- 3:29Speaker 6: And then as soon as he saw that colleague wearing it,
- 3:30Speaker 6: he should have said, hey, that looks remarkably similar.
- 3:36Speaker 1: 011-8838-947. You lose something. Three days later, you see your
- 3:40Speaker 1: colleague wearing the same thing, same size, same everything, same color,
- 3:43Speaker 1: same everything. When are you allowed to raise it? To
- 3:48Speaker 1: the colleague, to HR, to building execs. What are you
- 3:52Speaker 1: laughing at, Ibele?
- 3:54Speaker 4: Just out of interest. Lovely Nicola from HR.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I'm just curious about how she would have had to
- 3:58Speaker 2: resolve a dispute over a jacket from H & M.
- 4:01Speaker 2: No offense to H & M, but they sell many
- 4:04Speaker 2: of the same items.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I think you would have to prove that you bought it.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Well, I must bring a slip now to HR.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Something.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Something that proves that you bought it.
- 4:12Speaker 3: But this is the exact point that that other colleague
- 4:15Speaker 3: is relying on. The fact that you're thinking, no, but
- 4:17Speaker 3: she obviously bought it at H & M.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Because it's so unique, of course.
- 4:22Speaker 1: But, Kalugu.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Also because it's like a recent purchase, right? So there's
- 4:29Speaker 1: something you can show to us that you bought it
- 4:32Speaker 1: at H & M. You can show us a slip.
- 4:36Speaker 1: You can show us a debit from your credit card,
- 4:39Speaker 1: from your debit card. Something, bro.
- 4:43Speaker 3: But how insulted would you be If you were the
- 4:46Speaker 3: person wearing the jacket and HR comes to you and says,
- 4:49Speaker 3: show me a slip of how you bought this thing.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Show me a slip. You'd be so … I don't
- 4:52Speaker 3: keep slips.
- 4:53Speaker 1: So, like, no.
- 4:54Speaker 8: Guilty.
- 4:55Speaker 1: But you can show us on your card.
- 4:57Speaker 6: But, I mean, if you shop there regularly.
- 4:59Speaker 1: But, I mean, no, guys.
- 5:01Speaker 6: Now that Frankie's put, like, jacket on the other back,
- 5:04Speaker 6: I'm actually like, hold on a second. I would be like, no,
- 5:07Speaker 6: this is mine.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd be taking HR to HR if they came
- 5:10Speaker 3: to you and said, show me a slip of what
- 5:12Speaker 3: you're wearing.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Huh? Okay, thanks, Frankie. Now there's another conversation. I'm just saying.
- 5:18Speaker 1: How has HR done it in your building when somebody
- 5:21Speaker 1: accused somebody of taking their jacket? 011-8838-947. Send us a voice,
- 5:26Speaker 1: not 084-00-00947. Our colleague lost his jacket in the building.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Three days later, he saw somebody else wearing it in
- 5:34Speaker 1: the building as well. Two months later, he wants to
- 5:36Speaker 1: raise it. We say two months is too long.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Too long.
- 5:39Speaker 1: We say way too long. That jacket is gone, my angel.
- 5:43Speaker 1: And he's like, no, I think I've still got a chance.
- 5:45Speaker 1: It's like, no, you don't. So we're asking you how
- 5:49Speaker 1: long should time, how much time should pass before something
- 5:53Speaker 1: that you lost is gone? Leave it now. You can't
- 5:55Speaker 1: raise it. You can't go to HR. You can't go anywhere.
- 5:58Speaker 1: And can you do that where you feel that that's
- 6:01Speaker 1: my jacket?
- 6:03Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Do you just grab that person in the hallway? Do
- 6:06Speaker 3: you just shake them? That's my jacket.
- 6:08Speaker 1: That's allowed. I wouldn't have involved HR at all. I
- 6:11Speaker 1: was like, Gwena, you can keep this jacket.
- 6:14Speaker 7: I know.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I know.
- 6:18Speaker 5: I know.
- 6:19Speaker 1: And I just want you to know I know.
- 6:21Speaker 8: No, I don't agree with you guys.
- 6:23Speaker 6: If I've been looking for it for two weeks and
- 6:25Speaker 6: then after two weeks you suddenly wear it.
- 6:27Speaker 9: Then I can still claim it.
- 6:29Speaker 2: It's mine.
- 6:29Speaker 4: I paid for it.
- 6:30Speaker 9: So my school jersey went missing. It had a specific
- 6:34Speaker 9: burn mark. right in the middle of the jersey. And
- 6:38Speaker 9: my friend, very good friend of mine.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Actually had my jersey on a few days later, like nothing.
- 6:45Speaker 4: Hi, my name is Sienna, and I would just label
- 6:48Speaker 4: mine if I were you guys.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Finders, keepers, losers, weepers.
- 6:56Speaker 6: Imagine, now you must unpick the Versace off the back
- 6:59Speaker 6: of your jacket to write Cindy.
- 7:02Speaker 1: But that's the thing. Maybe this whole thing of labelling
- 7:06Speaker 1: clothes shouldn't end at just school kids. All the way
- 7:10Speaker 1: into adulthood, guys. No. I'm not labelling my clothes as
- 7:13Speaker 1: an adult, guys.
- 7:14Speaker 8: No.
- 7:16Speaker 5: No.
- 7:16Speaker 1: No, look now. Hey, your H & M jacket is gone.
- 7:19Speaker 1: If you had labeled it, we could simply walk up
- 7:21Speaker 1: to you and be like, hi, I lost a jacket
- 7:23Speaker 1: just like that. It's got a label on it. Please
- 7:24Speaker 1: can I check?
- 7:25Speaker 6: No, if you had been responsible as a child and
- 7:27Speaker 6: looked after your stuff, you would grow up into a
- 7:29Speaker 6: responsible adult and you wouldn't lose your jacket. Plus, you
- 7:31Speaker 6: must learn to confront people immediately when you see them
- 7:34Speaker 6: wearing your stuff.
- 7:35Speaker 3: And can I just clarify? Because I've already gotten... text
- 7:40Speaker 3: from HR so they'd like to see us later I
- 7:45Speaker 3: told you they'd like to see us later this morning
- 7:48Speaker 3: but the person who was wearing the jacket I don't
- 7:50Speaker 3: think that they necessarily stole it because they found it
- 7:54Speaker 3: and then no one claimed.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It they didn't hand it in.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Covering us for Taylor Hinnock.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I just feel like if it happens in our workspace,
- 8:09Speaker 1: it's happening in your workspace as well. Lee, you in Alberton.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Good morning, sir.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Good morning, team.
- 8:14Speaker 8: How are you doing?
- 8:15Speaker 1: We are great, Lee. Lee, we need some adult supervision
- 8:17Speaker 1: here and you sound like you are the adult.
- 8:20Speaker 8: Look, I'm not actually. In my house, my wife, example,
- 8:25Speaker 8: my wife's taken all our charger plugs and put our
- 8:28Speaker 8: initials on there. So we know who's is who, right?
- 8:30Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 8:31Speaker 8: Mark your stop. So I'm saying if more than two
- 8:35Speaker 8: people have got the same jacket in your workplace, put
- 8:38Speaker 8: your little initial on the inside of your jacket. And
- 8:42Speaker 8: obviously it's going to take you a couple of days
- 8:44Speaker 8: to look for your jacket. You're going to look at home,
- 8:45Speaker 8: in the car, wherever it may be. And if you
- 8:49Speaker 8: see your jacket at work, say, guys, let me just
- 8:51Speaker 8: try your jacket on. I just want to see something.
- 8:54Speaker 8: And purposely look for your text. It's like our school kids.
- 8:56Speaker 8: We send them to school and we mark their clothes, right?
- 8:58Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 8:59Speaker 1: What's the difference?
- 9:00Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Why do you guys want to be adults that don't
- 9:02Speaker 1: mark your clothes? How does it take away from you
- 9:05Speaker 1: being an adult?
- 9:06Speaker 2: Because I'm an adult who's never lost a piece of
- 9:08Speaker 2: clothing because I'm grown up. That's why I don't understand
- 9:10Speaker 2: why you're taking your clothes off at work.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Keep everything on you.
- 9:14Speaker 1: It gets hot and I need to take my jacket off.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Well, we know it gets warm in summer and spring.
- 9:19Speaker 4: Dress appropriately.
- 9:20Speaker 3: I think the issue here is that we don't feel
- 9:22Speaker 3: as adults we want to be marking our clothes with
- 9:24Speaker 3: our names inside. But I think the adult version of
- 9:27Speaker 3: it is bedazzling. Like if we all get into bedazzling
- 9:31Speaker 3: and you bedazzle your clothes, it'll be easy to identify.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Lily, you're in the vault. Good morning. What do you
- 9:37Speaker 1: think about this debacle?
- 9:40Speaker 7: Good morning, Tim.
- 9:42Speaker 9: It's Lily here.
- 9:43Speaker 7: I just wanted to answer under the word workplace. If
- 9:48Speaker 7: you are in the workplace, we are regulated by the
- 9:51Speaker 7: national law under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which
- 9:55Speaker 7: is the Section 8. Section 8, it says reporting of incidents.
- 10:00Speaker 7: at work. You need to report immediately or before the
- 10:04Speaker 7: end of the shift.
- 10:05Speaker 5: That's the law.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue with anyone who brought up
- 10:08Speaker 1: Section 8. So if I don't report it today, tomorrow
- 10:15Speaker 1: that jacket is gone, eh?
- 10:17Speaker 5: That jacket is gone.
- 10:19Speaker 6: No, but now, okay, what happens? Okay, I finish my
- 10:22Speaker 6: shift and I get home and I realize, oh no,
- 10:24Speaker 6: I've left my jacket behind.
- 10:25Speaker 1: So now it's too late.
- 10:26Speaker 6: Like I only realized when I got home that it's missing.
- 10:30Speaker 7: The constitution is running away from issues like that when
- 10:34Speaker 7: you are being injured at work and then you get
- 10:36Speaker 7: home and you said you were injured at work yesterday
- 10:39Speaker 7: because there was no one to report to. then you
- 10:42Speaker 7: might be able to be reported to be injured at home.
- 10:47Speaker 4: And then you come and report it at work.
- 10:50Speaker 7: So the constitution, they've ruled out that matter, that people,
- 10:53Speaker 7: they go home and then come back and claim.
- 10:57Speaker 2: So the point in the case of the jacket, for example,
- 10:59Speaker 2: or an item lost at work could be that once
- 11:02Speaker 2: you've left the building, you may have lost it elsewhere,
- 11:04Speaker 2: but you're making it the company's problem.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Is that right?
- 11:07Speaker 7: Yes, you are making it a company's problem. You can
- 11:11Speaker 7: report it to caution them or alert them of such
- 11:15Speaker 7: things that is happening within the workplace.
- 11:17Speaker 5: However, it's not a reportable incident.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Or you can report it for insurance purposes in the
- 11:22Speaker 1: case that your jacket is insured.
- 11:25Speaker 4: If you are insured.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Can you imagine going to the third floor to tell
- 11:28Speaker 2: them there's a jacket-snatching syndicate?
- 11:31Speaker 4: Beware!
- 11:32Speaker 7: Ah!
- 11:33Speaker 1: Guys, Lily came through with the fact that we were
- 11:36Speaker 1: chafufling here, speaking nonsense. And she was like, yay.
- 11:40Speaker 3: Section 8.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That H & M jacket in the Constitution falls under
- 11:45Speaker 1: Section 8 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. And
- 11:49Speaker 1: it says that you must report things before your shift ends.
- 11:53Speaker 1: So there we go, guys. So our initial question around
- 11:58Speaker 1: the two months, that's gone.
- 12:01Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Okay, that's gone.
- 12:03Speaker 4: Keep this up, you might have to open a law firm.
- 12:04Speaker 4: Look how accurate you are.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Constable, at 6 o'clock I'm solving crimes. At 7 o'clock
- 12:10Speaker 1: I'm putting people in their place. I wonder what's going
- 12:13Speaker 1: to happen at 8.
- 12:14Speaker 9: So, for interest's sake, how much is the jacket? I'm
- 12:17Speaker 9: happy to start a GoFund and put in 55 rent
- 12:21Speaker 9: towards an AJM jacket.
- 12:22Speaker 7: I used to be in the rugby team and you
- 12:25Speaker 7: would often see a rugby mate wearing a sock with
- 12:29Speaker 7: your initials on it.
- 12:30Speaker 4: It did happen in the rugby team.
- 12:32Speaker 8: Maybe the person took the jacket by accident and maybe
- 12:37Speaker 8: the domestic lady put it on a.
- 12:39Speaker 4: Jacket in the cupboard over another jacket. So they actually
- 12:42Speaker 4: don't know that.
- 12:43Speaker 1: If I know exactly where it was, can't I ask
- 12:46Speaker 1: the company to look at the cameras? As to who
- 12:49Speaker 1: took my jacket? Yes, you can, but not two months
- 12:52Speaker 1: down the line.
- 12:53Speaker 3: But also if you know where you left it, because
- 12:55Speaker 3: that's the problem. He says he left that at the
- 12:57Speaker 3: office somewhere he doesn't know.
- 12:58Speaker 1: And the rugby team guy, do you then, when you
- 13:02Speaker 1: see somebody wearing your socks, do you go to them
- 13:04Speaker 1: immediately and be like, hey, yo, chap, those are my socks?
- 13:07Speaker 3: If someone else is wearing your socks, it's theirs. Like that.
- 13:11Speaker 3: I'm very willing to say it's yours. It's yours, buddy.
- 13:14Speaker 1: It's yours, buddy.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Rugby socks.
- 13:17Speaker 1: You enjoy those. Jolene, you and Benoni, good morning.
- 13:21Speaker 9: Good morning, Adelaide McLeod.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Morning, Jolene.
- 13:24Speaker 8: How are you?
- 13:25Speaker 5: Good, good.
- 13:26Speaker 9: First time on radio. Can I get a pom-pom?
- 13:29Speaker 8: Yes, girl.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Pom-pom. First time on the radio. We're making the circle bigger.
- 13:35Speaker 9: Call me back. Meet me, call you guys.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Okay, so tell us what happened to you.
- 13:39Speaker 9: So I lost my specs at school, tested specs. So
- 13:44Speaker 9: it was a few months, a few months. And I
- 13:47Speaker 9: just like assume, okay, it's gone.
- 13:49Speaker 5: I'm not bothered.
- 13:50Speaker 9: It's gone. I actually got a phone, spec savers, booked
- 13:53Speaker 9: an appointment, got a new set of specs. I walk
- 13:57Speaker 9: into reception the one day, my receptionist slash tea lady
- 14:01Speaker 9: was wearing a set of specs. And I look at
- 14:04Speaker 9: her and I'm like, hey, this looks like mine. So
- 14:08Speaker 9: I approached her and she's like, no, this is mine.
- 14:11Speaker 9: So then I got pissed off. So I phoned Specsavers and,
- 14:15Speaker 9: you know, all Specsavers has a specific code. So they
- 14:20Speaker 9: gave me the code. And when I went back, I'm like,
- 14:24Speaker 9: can I please see your glasses? And then when I look,
- 14:28Speaker 9: I'm like, hey, this is my glasses.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Because it's got the code that Specsavers gave you.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Wow.
- 14:35Speaker 9: There's a code specifically engraved on the glasses.
- 14:38Speaker 1: And then what did she say? This is so embarrassing.
- 14:40Speaker 9: And this was a good few months later. We actually
- 14:45Speaker 9: got a new set and everything.
- 14:47Speaker 1: So now you've got two sets of glasses. We've gathered that.
- 14:50Speaker 1: But please take us back to the lady. What did
- 14:53Speaker 1: she say?
- 14:55Speaker 9: She said, oh, is it? How do you know it's yours?
- 14:58Speaker 9: I'm like, there's the code. That tells you it's mine.
- 15:02Speaker 1: And then?
- 15:02Speaker 9: And then she gave it back to me. She apologized.
- 15:07Speaker 9: And I'm like, you know what? It's fine. Keep it.
- 15:10Speaker 9: Because I already got a new set. You shouldn't take
- 15:13Speaker 9: something that doesn't belong to you. Or at least give
- 15:15Speaker 9: it to management or give it to somebody to tell
- 15:18Speaker 9: them you found something.
- 15:20Speaker 1: But my cry is she doesn't have the same eye
- 15:21Speaker 1: problems you do. Do you know what I'm saying? So
- 15:24Speaker 1: why are you wearing glasses that are not yours? You're
- 15:27Speaker 1: actually causing damage to your eyes. Unless your glasses.
- 15:29Speaker 9: Yeah, and it was tested.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Yes, this is my cry. It's a proper... The lenses
- 15:33Speaker 1: were made for you and no two are the same.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Unless your frame was really nice.
- 15:39Speaker 9: It was a burgundy one with like flowers on it,
- 15:43Speaker 9: sort of.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I get that.
- 15:45Speaker 9: It wasn't even like a specific brand.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Jolene, but did she see the error in her ways?
- 15:53Speaker 9: She apologized. She gave it back, but that was it.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Yes, because after a few months and you've been wearing something.
- 16:00Speaker 9: I don't think it sounds bad about it.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I don't want it back. It's got your energy now.
- 16:03Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? It's yours. Just keep it.
- 16:05Speaker 1: But I think it's very... It's the height of audacity
- 16:09Speaker 1: to pick up prescription glasses and just put them on
- 16:11Speaker 1: and carry on moving.
- 16:13Speaker 9: Especially you being a tea lady slash a cleaner receptionist.
- 16:17Speaker 9: You see walking around, people leave things. Your responsibility is
- 16:22Speaker 9: to report it.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Literally, your job is pick up. Your job is pick
- 16:24Speaker 1: up and take it to lost property because you work
- 16:26Speaker 1: in a space where people are going to drop things.
- 16:28Speaker 8: No.
- 16:28Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Okay, Jolene. You guys must have a very strained relationship
- 16:33Speaker 1: now though, hey?
- 16:35Speaker 9: I'm not at the company anymore.
- 16:37Speaker 1: So you don't see her anymore?
- 16:39Speaker 8: No, I don't.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Okay. Thank you, Jolene.
- 16:42Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 16:43Speaker 9: Take care, guys.
- 16:44Speaker 8: Bye.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Guys, there's nothing more embarrassing when somebody proves that.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. When I can prove that you took it.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Just saying it. Fumelo, you in front of Bell Park.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Good morning, guys.
- 16:57Speaker 8: How are you?
- 16:57Speaker 1: We are great. Fumelo, are you going to bring this
- 17:00Speaker 1: conversation to an abrupt end? To be like, hey, this
- 17:04Speaker 1: is the word.
- 17:04Speaker 5: Yeah, let's just close it off. It's my jacket. It's
- 17:07Speaker 5: my jacket. If it's two months later, two years later,
- 17:11Speaker 5: the thing about my clothing is that I'm a creative
- 17:13Speaker 5: director for a fashion brand. So for me, all my
- 17:18Speaker 5: items are uniquely made for Kumelo in a way. I
- 17:23Speaker 5: can buy a jacket at H & M, tailor it
- 17:27Speaker 5: or alter it a little bit, and make it myself.
- 17:29Speaker 5: So at the end of the day, it's not marked,
- 17:32Speaker 5: but I'm able to identify my pieces that are in
- 17:35Speaker 5: my closet, Anywhere, anytime, and even those clients that I
- 17:39Speaker 5: have dressed and have had certain things bought from the company,
- 17:44Speaker 5: everything is uniquely made and the company's authentic great clothing.
- 17:48Speaker 5: So at the end of the day, it's authentically made
- 17:51Speaker 5: for you.
- 17:53Speaker 3: So you bedazzle. It sounds like you're into the bedazzling.
- 17:57Speaker 5: Not necessarily bedazzled, but a piece will be made for you.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Personalized.
- 18:04Speaker 5: You understand? So if you want to have your initials, Frankie,
- 18:07Speaker 5: put onto it, we can do that. But if you
- 18:10Speaker 5: want to add something that maybe a flower or something
- 18:13Speaker 5: that's very close to you on the inside or somewhere
- 18:16Speaker 5: within it, just for you so that you know that
- 18:18Speaker 5: this is authentically yours.
- 18:21Speaker 1: After two years of somebody wearing your jacket, do you
- 18:23Speaker 1: want it back?
- 18:26Speaker 5: Anile, it is personalized. So at the end of the day,
- 18:30Speaker 5: the money is not the one that you got from
- 18:33Speaker 5: H & M. It is a little bit more because
- 18:35Speaker 5: there's more detail put onto it.
- 18:37Speaker 3: But do you want it back?
- 18:38Speaker 1: But do you want it back? Forget it being personalized
- 18:41Speaker 1: and the detail and the flower and the bloom. Do you,
- 18:44Speaker 1: after somebody has worn something of yours for two years,
- 18:46Speaker 1: do you want it back?
- 18:48Speaker 5: They must refund it to me.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Also, they must pay you the money.
- 18:52Speaker 5: Yes, they must pay me the money. Like the lady
- 18:55Speaker 5: said before, you stole it, basically. It's actually a criminal case.
- 18:59Speaker 5: And you can go to the police and open a
- 19:01Speaker 5: case of theft and go and prove it with a code,
- 19:04Speaker 5: like she said. But we don't want to get to
- 19:06Speaker 5: that route. So kindly just pay me back my 2000
- 19:08Speaker 5: rand for my jacket.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what it is? I think Trumelo's
- 19:14Speaker 1: got a point. Because Tina, and I'm going to say
- 19:17Speaker 1: it as South Africans, we're just so used to things
- 19:20Speaker 1: like this, right? That you just, the trouble of going
- 19:24Speaker 1: to the police station and, you know, a case.
- 19:27Speaker 3: I'm not going to bother the police with a jacket
- 19:29Speaker 3: from H & M.
- 19:29Speaker 1: This is my cry. But if you're looking at it
- 19:33Speaker 1: and what's right and what's wrong, Trumelo's right.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean, it's still your jacket. But to
- 19:37Speaker 3: the point, this colleague did lose it. Didn't look after.
- 19:44Speaker 1: I'm just sticking to my two-month thing. There's no way
- 19:47Speaker 1: you can come after two months and be like, now... here,
- 19:50Speaker 1: you know, let's go find your jacket.
- 19:52Speaker 3: So now, after, we've had a long discussion about this.
- 19:54Speaker 3: So what do we tell Tobita?
