Nokuthula Mabaso was one of three @abahlalibM leaders from the eKhenana commune killed in the space of just six months in 2022. Four years later, there has been no justice for her and many other human rights defenders who have been silenced. ✊ Join the call for legislation that protects human rights defenders: campaigns.amnesty.org.za/page/154449/pe…

WATCH | SERI researcher Thato Masiangoako unpacks a landmark Labour Appeal Court ruling that orders Namaqua Wines to reinstate general worker Vuyani Qomoyi. The court found that calling someone a "white racist" does not, by itself, constitute racism, overturning Qomoyi's 2021 dismissal after he called his supervisor, Sybrandt Meyer, a “white racist".

Domestic workers in South Africa must be paid at least the national minimum wage. Fair pay is not a favour. It is a right protected by law. Every worker deserves to be paid properly for their time and their work. #DomesticWorkersRights #KnowYourRights #DignityinEveryHome

A payslip helps protect domestic workers. It shows what you were paid, how your wages were calculated, and whether deductions were made correctly. It is an important record of your work & your rights. Every worker deserves clear information about their pay. #KnowYourRights
