Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Working together, we have done much to improve the employment conditions and advance the rights of domestic workers in South Africa. #BuildingBetterCommunities #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Faced with all these challenges, and faced with the legacy of our apartheid past, we must acknowledge that we have indeed made progress since the advent of democracy and since the ratification of @ILO Convention 189. https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is therefore essential that we accelerate the recovery of our economy and the creation of jobs. It also means that we need to continue to provide support to those most affected by the pandemic. #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This means that there were a quarter of a million fewer domestic workers in employment after the first three months of COVID. While there has been some recovery, we have not yet returned to pre-COVID levels. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we confront the legacy of our past, we must also deal with the devastating impact of the #COVID19 pandemic. Statistics SA shows that there was a 26% decline in employment among domestic workers between the first and second quarters of 2020. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We improve food security in their households, we improve the health and educational outcomes for their children, and we lift more and more people out of poverty. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And if we improve the wages and conditions of domestic workers, we improve the economic position of hundreds of thousands of women in South Africa. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
If we create more economic opportunities for women, we put greater pressure on employers to improve the wages and conditions of domestic workers. #VoteANC #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Many women are forced to accept exploitative conditions as domestic workers because of the lack of other opportunities for employment or income generation. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The struggle to improve the material conditions of domestic workers cannot be separated from the broader struggle for the economic empowerment of women. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Live-in domestic workers are particular vulnerable to abuse, including physical violence or sexual harassment, as well as limits that may be imposed on their right of access to their families or children. https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They are therefore less likely to be aware of their rights, less likely to organise and mobilise to protect those rights, and have less of an opportunity to have their grievances heard and addressed. https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Those domestic workers who are not in formal employment also do not have access to unemployment insurance, workplace injury compensation or social protection that other employees may have. Domestic workers are less likely to be unionised. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Across the world, domestic workers face many of the same challenges. Many are not in formal employment. As a result, their legal rights as employees are not respected, their hours of work and other conditions of employment are not regulated. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Even after 27 years of democracy, despite the progress we have made, we have still not overcome this past. We have still not provided domestic workers with the lives they desire and deserve. https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Domestic work was one area where the triple oppression of black working-class women was most evident and most severe. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This great injustice has its roots in our apartheid past, where domestic work was one of the few occupations available to black women, where conditions were particularly exploitative, and where abuse was common. https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Their contribution is not reflected in the wages they are paid, in the conditions under which they often have to work, nor in the many ways that society recognises achievement. #VoteANC #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And yet, the contribution of domestic workers to our society remains largely unrecognised and unappreciated. #VoteANC #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In doing so, they help to keep the social fabric of our country intact. Through their work, they contribute both directly and indirectly to the growth and sustainability of our economy. #VoteANC #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In homes across the country, around a million domestic workers carry out essential household tasks – cooking and cleaning, looking after children, caring for the elderly and the frail. #VoteANC #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are gathered here to acknowledge and celebrate the domestic workers of South Africa. The contribution of domestic workers to our society and to our economy is immense. #VoteANC #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is also an occasion to consider the challenges that domestic workers continue to face and the work that we still need to do to improve their working and living conditions. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is an opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made since we, as South Africa, ratified the Convention in 2013, and, just as importantly, the progress we have made since becoming a democracy in 1994. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I am honoured to address you on this historic occasion, when we observe the 10th Anniversary of ILO Convention 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers. #VoteANC https://t.co/Y5NANaMAtY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are now 3 days away from the local government elections taking place on 1 November. Today we will be in Ekurhuleni region and we start our programme at Imbizo Shisanyama in Clayville to join the @_COSATU Women’s Event. #VoteANC #BuildingBetterCommunities https://t.co/uJ9zemzM5E — PolitiTweet.org

@ToyotaSA CEO Andrew Kirby advised that 575 new jobs have been created in the plant and a further 1,200 new jobs have been created in the supplier companies. We thank the workers for building and equipping the plant in time, despite all challenges. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/qO6pkDPT9w — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Workers are often the unsung heroes of daily production and we acknowledge the contribution of production workers to making world-class, safe vehicles that we and the rest of the world can drive with confidence. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/ZaZWT8znsT — PolitiTweet.org

Simlindile Mondleki took us through the hybrid engine installation process. During the plant tour, I met a number of workers who are qualified, passionate, well-trained and committed to their work. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/tkyjEjCpjk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Earlier today we met with GM Brenda Beaumont who welcomed us to the Toyota Plant and led the tour. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/eWW8Id2oBY — PolitiTweet.org
