Hello. Sorry about your problems. Sometimes employers act because of a misunderstanding. Please write them a letter detailing your predicament and explain why they were not informed the first day. If possible provide proof of your illness. If your illness is going to persist ask for leave without pay, and tell them when you can reasonably return to work. If they go ahead and do anything adverse you can use your correspondence to approach the CCMA for relief. All the best.
