The Verdict with Zee Ngwenya: Breaking Down Toxicity in Corporate, Retail and Business

Loading player...
Today’s Verdict puts the spotlight on toxic work environments. From strict hierarchies and office politics in corporate, to long hours, low pay, and burnout in retail, and the pressure, instability, and isolation that can come with running a business — which one is truly the most toxic?

We speak to Zee Ngwenya, who has experienced retail first-hand and later transitioned into the property industry, now selling houses. She shares her lived experience, the realities behind each environment, and delivers her verdict on which workplace does the most damage — and why.
