ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa says it is important that domestic workers get a decent working environment and improved wages.

Ramaphosa said if Cosatu was not in alliance with the ANC they would have found it a lot harder to win rights for workers.

“The introduction of the national minimum wage was a victory for all workers of our country and gave effect to a demand made more than 50 years ago’ when the Freedom Charter was adopted. “Together with our social partners, the National Economic Development and Labour Council or Nedlac, we therefore established a slightly lower minimum for these workers but with time this is going to catch up.

Ramaphosa quoted data from Statistics South Africa. From the first quarter to the second quarter of 2020, the employment of domestic workers decreased by 26%.

But Rama decided worker can be paid R3500 if employers wanted😂

He is calling now because he wants vote. What a shame👎🏻

MYANC niyakwazi ukudelela abantu..... Workers in a Public sector are forced with 1.5%...for shit! Everything is expensive...

Does he pay his staff decent salary mmmmm, because doesn't

SA soldiers last received their salary increase in 2019. You still call yourself Commander in Chief of Armed Forces? Time bomb...

This from someone who's failed to pay ANC employees?

The timing is so pathetically transparent. 🙄

Why now?

What a hypocrite, he announced the R20/hr minimum wage. He must start there and increase the legal minimum wage.

To whom is he speaking? Last time I checked the ANC decided on minimum wages.

He cant pay descent wages at his own farm, how does intend to do it nationally

ANC is In government put in charge by people to make make changes not to make calls as if they opposition !!’

He’s given up calling for jobs.

Starting with Luthuli house? Pay them any wage

Ey fvck CyrilRamaphosa man

Is it the same man that instructed police to 'come down heavily on the protestors' in Marikana and tht instruction resulted to +30 miners gunned down by police all because of wage increase.. The same guy whose party can not afford to pay its workers..it's a trap

This things talks rubbish!!! This is the man who has cut the salaries of the public service employees, today workers are in court demanding their salaries. ANC employees haven't been paid salaries for 4months, Marikana miners were killed demanding decent salaries.

Decent wages my foot, he was quite when public service personnel were denied their increase and their collective agreement were overlooked. You are too late papa you are going down this time around. You are a proxy of the white

Jokes

Says the head of an organisation who can’t pay their own staff

Let him start with his own workers at Luthuli house. His charity must begin from right there.

History has recorded that President Cyril Ramaphosa has remained silent all along when Tito Mboweni and Senzo Mcunu(then ministers of Finance and Public Administration) refused to implement the signed 2018 DEAL under his watch. JUST HOW DECENT IS THAT?

Issa trap!!!The miners dies in 2012 for asking for a decent wage if R12 500...

Lol😂😂😂😂😂

ANC staff is hungry and not paid for months. Start there first.

Yet his government is refusing to implement the 2018 agreement reached at the PSCBC with the public sector unions, naked hypocrisy.

thus guy just incompetent straight, what fuckery is this . As government it is your job to enforce labour laws instead wena you're calling for workers 🙄.

CapeIndependence is coming

He doesn't even pay his staff. HECTIC 🤦🏾‍♂️

Calls to who?🙄

What abt ANC staffers?

Shame...

ANC should first learn to pay its staffs salaries,provident fund and UIF.

Workers at le thuli house are not paid under his leadership, he than has a nerve to call workers to b paid decent wage he think we are stupid nne

Desperate times 😂😂😂 Kubibibibi

The problem here is that...

Did he pay his Luthuli house workers first

Mxm its hard for him to pay him workers in mining he paid them balls

I give up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😎

Charity begins at home..

Why him and his counterparts amend the bill and stop his leap service just for votes for the ANC

A perfect example of being in power and clueless about using the power you have. Mara ke sono 😂😂😂

Helen Zille addresses viral audio clip on DA’s ANC ‘coalition plans’DA federal council chair Helen Zille has seemingly changed her tune about entering into a coalition with the ANC. This is again the MSM's spin and distort tactics to undermine DA. 'The audio clip was edited and taken out of context. It was in the year 2019 and that time had some hope in New President' s New-dawn promises. What garbage reporting is this?🤢🤮 Lol, she is just confusing the devil!
