Story 2
AskMandla is helping South African employers formalise domestic workers’ employment through a WhatsApp service that provides access to contracts, payslips, leave management, UIF registration and basic human resources guidance.
The platform has made a difference for Durban domestic worker Beauty Mhleba, who can access her payslips and employment information without having to ask her employer each time.
Another user, Zethu Mbili, says her payslip helped her open a bank account, giving her greater access to financial services.
