Hello Lux Afrique and whoever is in charge. I know the author of this post and it’s impolite to still have this post up when you have refused to pay the writer and he has requested that you pull down the post. You don’t advertise for jobs and when people come on board, after having worked for a while, you tell them it’s volunteering. This is not right.
