It took one lone voice of a young student in Pretoria, Mihlali Nobavu, to expose the exploitative regime which was taking place at the swanky new Babel Restaurant in Menlyn , Pretoria.
A few days after saying enough, change is being promised by her former employers who were last week telling her to get cuter braids, all while not paying her or the other staffers, a basic minimum wage of R27.58 per hour.
Her voice has been heard and as her voice reverberates on thousands of smartphones after her brave Tiktok video, this could finally lead to fair wages for her former colleagues, and hopefully, an improvement in their basic working conditions.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Thousands of people on social media rallied behind Nobavu as they listened to the horror of her story, a story the young student detailed simply, coherently and eloquently.
