Article: Domestic workers minimum wage increase

Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant has upwardly adjusted domestic workers' annual wages in line with the new minimum wage, her office said on Tuesday.

"The new sectoral determination of domestic workers starting from 1 December 2014 to 30 November 2015 prescribes the minimum wages for domestic workers who work more than 27 ordinary hours per week," spokesman Mokgadi Pela said in a statement.
 
"Domestic workers who do not work in major metros have an hourly rate of R9.30, weekly R418.32, and monthly R1812.57"

Also note that if you employ a domestic worker on a farm at your house, they must be paid the same minimum wage as a normal farm worker.
Which from 1 March 2014 to 28 February 2015 is an hourly rate of R12.48, weekly R561.75, and monthly R2 434.06.

Well, either I'm a racist or there's a context here that went straight over your head. And the bad news is that I'm not a racist, so...

Maybe you were not capable of articulating the context. Could you explain it?
 
I was paying my domestic worker R1700, so I guess she's due a salary increase.
 
As they increase the minimum wage, surely all they are doing is pushing more people below the legal threshold?

Capable? Sure I am. Since I was addressing Visser directly and not you, I was fairly certain that he would understand. There was a failure on your part to pick that there may be a context, transferring your lack of understanding to me is quite dishonest on your part, seems to be an attempt to save face.

Maybe you could investigate a few threads that Visser has been involved in. The context is brutally obvious if you do that.

No I'm asking Randhir to explain himself or herself. Then we'll see if his or her statements are meritorious.
