A local domestic worker made a very kind act that won the hearts of her employer and numerous social media users. The appreciative employer posted a picture of the wonderful note and R100 she had received as a gift from her helper online. It is clear that the helper values her employer.
Many people have been reflecting on the post’s points, including how domestic helpers frequently integrate into families and how fortunate they are to have a good domestic helper around the house.
Having a helper and how much they ought to be paid have become touchy subjects in recent months.
While many individuals believe that domestic workers and helps are severely underpaid, others contend that they do not earn enough to pay their helpers any more than they do.
One domestic helper, on the other hand, has reminded people of the value of kindness after she decided to give her employer R100 and a nice card on her birthday.
Tlotlo Kolwane shared a photo of the gesture on LinkedIn earlier this week which she captioned:
“My house helper has me all teared up in the office on my birthday! She hid this note in my lunch pack with an R100.
“I never expected this, especially with her background and the way things are for her back home. I am in awe.”
The post warmed many people’s hearts and made them sing the worker’s praises.

“Generosity and kindness don’t depend on the number of things you have or the size of your bank account. It’s the heart that drives it. She has a big heart. Also, aunty is returning your kindness to her. Happy birthday, Tlotlo Kolwane.”
