When i got to the office i was degraded and accused of doing drugs at the office based on a dirty earbud that someone had scratched out of the the tiny little bin next to the toilet in the single bathroom stall that is shared by everyone one that works at this company. I was made to not only take a drug test infront of all of my other colleagues but then when i tested Positive for morphine which i have a script from the doctor for using, the boss further degrading and demeaning me infront of the entire office staff saying how she knew that i was drug abuser and how can i even still be at the office, i should be ashamed and then even tho i had my doctor send her an email directly with all information pertaining to my medications she contacted her labour lawyer and then first called me to to have me sign a new one month only Contract and ripping up the original 3 month contract that i was given les than 2 weeks prior and then after basically all ready terminating my services at the end off this now based on this completely horrid and unfounded attack on me and my character she also had took photos of the drug test that she made me take this morning with positive result for morphine use and printed it out in full a colour and to fit the entire A4 page to be attached to my final written warning about doing doing drugs or being on drugs while at work and then had the all of my colleagues sign this warning and full coulour print outs of the drug test as witnesses ...

I'm a Zimbabwean who has been illtreated, faced racism at the workplace and also hasn't been paid for February salary. I am at the property right now but Dean Hubbard, the owner, is not even showing any respect to my need for my salary to pay rent. I'm on the verge of becoming homeless due to that specific reason. I have all the messages he sent me regarding the issue of salaries. He constantly ignores me because of that

My father passed away last year while he had 2 wives one civil married(with 5 children over 18) the other traditional( with one child under 18). Civil married children went to fetch 3 vehicle from traditional wife where my father was staying. We had agreement but now she said we must bring back everything because she didn’t give us concent . She mentioned 3 of my brothers to bring back the vehicle before 28 march.
The divorce was uncontested until I gave the settlement agreement to my soon to be ex-husband. He is refusing maintenance (we have been separated for 14 months and has not paid anything towards his child). I am solely paying towards my son. Since separation we have alternated 7 days with each parent. ( I did this to keep the peace) Although now with feedback over the past few months etc regarding the emotional state and mental state of my son (6years old) - he gets bad anxiety when away from me, as well as neglect regarding general school necessities and upkeep. I have attached the agreement for you to look at. I am a teacher at my sons school so I do get first hand communication as well as insight into his daily routines etc. The divorce has been at a stand still because of the contested parental agreements.
