With Covid spreading faster than hot gossip at a ladies get together, borders are set to close, leaving foreign domestic workers trapped in South Africa.<\/p>\n
But Covid 19 isn\u2019t the only reason. Maintenance work is set to continue as Patricia De Lille and team are hard at work, spraying Q20 on the rusted Barbed wire fence that cost a mere 37 Million Rand to put up.<\/p>\n
Workers have insisted on working at night so they can work faster as its alot cooler, but analysts say it\u2019s mainly so they can secure overtime pay.<\/p>\n
The border closure has invoked mixed reactions and emotions amongst both employers and employees.<\/p>\n
\u201dGori Khala\u201d speaking to Radio Islam, said she was sad that \u201dBlessing\u201d could not return to Harare for the holidays, but promised not to overwork her as she normally does.
\n\u201dShe just has to shine the stoep and pots, that\u2019s all the work I\u2019ll make her do, then she can relax the whole evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her Husband, “Gora Mota” yells into the phone : \u201dWe are truly blessed!\u201d but no one laughs.
\nBlessing was less excited, for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis Gogo wont even have chance to miss me now\u201d…<\/p>\n
\u201dAlso, little does she know, I was not coming back\u201d<\/p>\n
