A young lady who had been working at a popular nightclub in Cape Town, Nandile Matshaya, trended on TikTok after venting online.

The youngster was devastated after her manager and colleagues failed to protect her after she was assaulted by customers. She was then dismissed hours after the incident.

Woman fired after being assaulted at work

Two days ago, a young employee, Nandile Matshaya, at Mitshom Lounge & Shisha Bar in Cape Town shared her devastating story. The lady explained that she requested a ride home during closing time, and things went south when her driver arrived.

She was supposed to share the ride with her two colleagues, who were bouncers at the club. The two guys, unfortunately, took too long to come out to the car, which made the driver panic.

Matshaya went to alert the bouncers about the driver’s concerns. The guys had been drinking with women who got agitated by the youngster and followed her to the car.

The girls started banging on the car and eventually got hold of Matshaya, whom they assaulted. The manager stood and watched as one of his employees got beaten up in front of him.

The driver managed to break up the fight and drove to the police station to report the incident, but unfortunately, they were ignored. When Matshaya got home, she realised that she had been fired after the manager announced it on the company group chat on WhatsApp.

The youngster was devastated by the news and shared everything with her friends on social media. People sent her flowers and other gifts to help ease the pain.

Her colleagues made fun of her situation on the group chat, which hurt her even more:

“I should have been safe.”

Finding a way forward after the incident 

The boss called Matshaya and the people who witnessed the assault to try and resolve the issue, but nobody protected or stood up for her. She was not surprised by the outcome because the staff constantly bullied her at work.

The young lady shared on TikTok that her colleagues made her experience a living hell, especially her manager, who would mock her and point out her flaws in front of everyone.

@Linda Avene🎈commented:

“I've been there, my love. I decided to quit, and the supervisor begged because I was good at my work, but I asked them why they did not stand up for me when the boss and staff bullied me, because they did nothing, so please leave me alone.”
