    Everything is getting so expensive that some of us can't afford a domestic worker anymore. As a pensioner with a small income it is very difficult.

    Are they representing the majority of domestic workers? Zimbabweans , baSotho and ( maNdebele around Pretoria). Even ANC ministers use Zimbabweans. Ramaphosa had a Namibian domestic worker at Phalaphala.

    They're not discussing the fact the people are hiring Zimbabweans, Malawian and baSotho domestic workers now to avoid dealing with unions and the worker's rights. Same thing is happening in the hospitality industry. South African unemployment is not only because of lack of jobs, but because employers are exploiters👀

    Of course the domestic workers find it hard so does everyone else unless you are rich. I haven't had a domestic in years especially with all the regulations in place I just can't afford one so I do my own housework and gardening at the age of 80 + doesn't do me any harm just keeps me fit. Times are going to get harder and harder. What I have noticed is the average SA will not stop buying items when the prices go up they would rather use their credit card.

    Please correct my ignorance. But was domestic work ever meant to be a life long career? It would be so much more helpful if the government used SARS offered tax returns as a tool for employers of domestic workers to invest in upskilling and provide upward mobility to their helpers, perhaps even offering. separate fund for monthly essentials for their helpers, this would create a great steppingstone for many younger workers, and will go a long way to kurb future unemployment. Bit ke, with unions forming and minimum wage policies being instituted instead, this will remain a dead end job for those with out skills to trade for higher income.

    Just hire an agency to bring their group of domestic workers to clean your houses in 3 to 4 hours once or twice a week. Let the agency pay their salary and further no emplyer has any problem with UIF etc. Domestics want a living wage, so do us as pensioners so we can pay for a domestic.😅

    Govt is making it too difficult for ppl to hire domestic workers with their new labour laws. Now even if you hire someone for one day a week they have certain labour rights that can put the employer in trouble with labour court. Minimum wage is now R220, 64 if they work 8hrs per day Which is over 4k per month Majority if S.A cannot afford this. So ppl go to foreigners. The govt does not he,p create employment but rather hamper it.
    I met this woman that worked at 3 places & was payed R600 per day to go once a week. When her employers had to register her for UIF 2 rather terminated her contract & got a cleaning company. She even went to the cleaning company but they made her clean 4- 5 houses per day for R250 per day & expected her to buy her own cleaning products. She now does ironing in the township for whatever money ppl give her. 😢

    Domestic worker: independent woman who doesn't need a man but wakes up in cold winter at 4 in the morning to look after some people's children leaving her own at home.
    Stay home wife: woman loved by her husband enough to make life softer & easier. She helps her husband raise their own children & runs the home as he goes out there to grind & provide. She's often seen as a slave by women who have no productive man in their lives. They'd rather praise single moms than a wholesome wife. They hate God's order & cry victim expecting sympathy when they have to play both a man & woman roles at the same time. I love my wife & will never let her go through this crap just to please feminism, working for some man when I am the man! A great man retires his wife & give her security making life easier while raising & nurturing their kids. Strong women must work until they meet Jesus.

Hustling always means heists, extortion and zama-zama and not every man is can survive prison hence they don’t hustle to that route. Not everyone is business minded.
