2025/11/20

International Day for Tolerance? KZN said, “Not today!” We asked: What’s the ONE thing you absolutely will NOT tolerate in your workday? And KZN came out swinging from office bullies, loud calls in shared spaces, people phoning before 09h00, all the way to colleagues who forget basic workplace manners. It’s unfiltered, relatable, and a little too close to home. Hit play and hear what the province had to get off its chest!
