Mzansi agrees with Anele Mdoda

Netizens added their opinions, with some speaking against this practice.

@instantbiz1 argued:

"Restaurants should be clear with their strategy and say it out loud, we hire entrepreneurs only who can run small business of good serving food and paid by customers. Straightforward. It seem to me they treat waiters as standalone businesses."

@ZikhonaTshona stated:

"And it's not the first time we hear about them and tips."

@jaybug1313 added:

"Exploitation in this industry is very high because laws don't protect employees, employees are scared to speak out because of fear to lose their jobs and desperation."

@khandizwe_chris believes there should be better laws in place:

"We actually need some sort of law that will enable the government to deploy auditors to dig deep in these establishments and make sure that there is not even one labour law that is being broken."

@PhilaJMadondo replied:

"SAns are called lazy when they demand a basic salary at these establishments. Restaurants employ illegal undocumented foreigners who are forced to have such humiliating conditions of employment. This is a norm in the restaurant sector, has been so for years."
