An uproar of upset
Locals did not seem to like the idea of renting a human and made these thoughts known in the comment section. Read a few of their comments below:
@NHI_a_Must said:
"This is Labour Brokers 101 if you did not know what it means. Maids earn too little. Now imagine someone taking part in it. Big No."
@TumisoMoatshe said:
"Renting a maid? Who does the job? Let's not use other people's kids to build your own empire"
@VK90687734 said:
"Sounds like a pimp to me."
@FraserMlo said:
"That is slavery, she didn't put it in a respective way."
Less controversial hustle news
Briefly News also reported that these days finding a job is as hard as winning the lotto. This is why watching a determined young woman make something of herself despite life's difficulties is as refreshing as getting water after being stuck in a desert for days on end.
In a truly inspirational Facebook post, Smangele Ndlunkulu Ngema asked people to kindly support her blanket washing business. Snaps of her hard at work show that she stomps the blankets clean using only her feet - the true African way.
The hustle: When you get time drop your blankets and laundry. 1 blanket -R90, two blankets R160, and a basket of your dirty laundry R200. N.B: I don't do house calls.
