Changes coming for domestic workers in South Africa, says Ramaphosa

Hiring illegal immigrants works out well, until some taking each other for granted happens, since they don't have the options that formal employment comes with they do tend to get very nasty when there's a fallout.

And locals don't?

Me and wife can't really afford a domestic. But my wife was asked by a friend, last year after the lock down, if she can employ her domestic for a day in the week. She can't afford to employ her full time, any more, as she lost her job and her husband's pay was cut. My wife agreed to help. Now, our domestic is complaining that there isn't enough work for her during the day. Told her to go home when she's done, we'll still pay full day.
