Anything that goes to court becomes public. This industry and the players on all sides want their deeds to remain private. Therefore the industry secrecy will be exposed when one goes to court.
There are WG and Punters who obviously don't care but the large majority have anonymity as the foremost requirement in engagements, this is what then allows the bullying and extortion to manifest. Wouldn't trade anonymity for anything, many have a lot more to loose than gain if our deeds came out in one way or another.
Nonetheless, fuck the bullies

I can write atleast a hundred pages of the crap I had to endure at some venues I worked for over a ten year period...
Everything from what's mentioned in thread about business trading constraint.
Extortion. Point blank with holding money owed to me for bookings because of whatever reason suited them.
To harassment, slandering my profile to gold members and regular punters.
To outright abusive treatment.
So, rather work for yourself. Saves you extra money on anti-depressants, self doubt ect...
It will never be above board at most venues no matter what contract they thumb suck for you to sign. Because asof today this industry is largely still illegal. The End

Most Restraint of Trade claims would be thrown out in court.
I also doubt a business that isn't yet on a legal footing in South Africa wants to go to court.
Most businesses can't afford the whole legal process - I've been sued lots of time in my line of work.
I'd ignore the claims.
