Isi artikel

TEBOGO, aged 25, is a security guard in Johannesburg, earning just 11.38 rand an hour. Improperly classified as “selfemployed”, he gets no paid holiday, sick leave or other benefits. By dint of working a 12hour day, 25 days a month, he manages to earn 3,400 rand a month. Out of this he has to pay 250 rand rent to a friend who allows him to live in a oneroom shack in his yard, next to seven others. Their 15 occupants share a single pitlatrine and outside water tap. Tebogo pays his employer 390 rand a month for transport and 98 rand for the uniform he is obliged to wear. Another 350 rand a month goes on maintenance for his sixyearold daughter. He also gives about 800 rand a month to his parents, who have no other source of income. In a good month that leaves Tebogo with about 1,500 rand for himself and his studies. He would like to become a radio journalist one day.
