This video was supposed to be posted on Boxing Day last year. I want to share it anyway to get people thinking about the relentless stike action in South Africa and the culture of entitelement, especially in the post-Apartheid era.

In Dec 2017 there was a nationwide strike of workers from Shoprite Holdings, the largest retailer in Africa. They were demanding higher wages and full-time employment with benefits. Some are upset that the former CEO was paid R100 million (with a bonus) and the ordinary workers receive R2500 per month. Dan Sullivan said you must first add value before you expect opportunity. Tom Leykis insists that you "earn what you're worth."
