He said he sold his pigs and cattle to come up with money . Sowetan on Friday reported that that Sodi’s company company was paid about R130m at the time its contract was terminated in February.Several workers have told Sowetan of their struggles to make ends meet after the company failed to pay their salaries since September 2022.
