In a bid to appeal to the biggest voter constituency, women, President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday said plans were afoot to ensure that the average salary for domestic workers will, by 2022, be equal to the national minimum wage. | JKwritingz

Ramaphosa, who was on the campaign trail in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, also promised that government was working towards employing enough inspectors to ensure that they could observe the working conditions of all domestic workers and ensure that they are not exploited.

Ramaphosa added that he too was a child of a domestic worker and their plight was one that was close to his heart. Currently, domestic workers earned between R2 614 and R2 916 a month as their minimum wage was capped at R19.09 per hour, while the national minimum wage was increased from R20.76 to R21.69 per hour for 2021, which came into effect from 1 March.
