Ramaphosa woos domestic workers on campaign trail

Ramaphosa added that this was an opportunity for a renewal of the ANC so that “the ANC can fulfil its historic mission”.

“We need to ensure that their rights are protected, upheld and that the conditions of employment that they work under are improved and that they received decent wages. As a society, we have to build on the progress that has been made for the conditions of work since 1994, we must intensify the struggle that has brought us this far and we must not rest until we have made decent work a reality for every domestic worker,” he said.

“As they do this work, they keep the social fabric of our country together. They are the glue and strings that tie the social fabric of our country together. They are the ones who make society intact, to function at a variety of levels.” Without them, the economy would not function, said Ramaphosa, adding that more must be done to improve the minimum wages and working conditions for domestic workers.
