Mzansi in Outrage Over Meagre R2 500 Law Firm Job Offer Salary: "Not Even My Helper Earns That"

• A TikTok video criticises a job ad offering R2500 for a legal position requiring fluency in English and Afrikaans

• Commenters are divided, with some defending the offer as an internship and others agreeing the salary is too low

A woman was left gobsmacked after seeing a job post offering a meagre salary of R2 500.

A TikTik video by @bantu_womann shows the woman commenting on a job post shared by a small attorney firm looking for a young individual interested in studying law.

The post also explains that the applicant would be required to undertake various tasks within the law firm and must be fluent in English and Afrikaans for a small salary of R2 500 a month.

The video garnered many views, reactions, and comments online. Some people considered the salary and/or stipend fair, as the position only required the applicant to have a matric certificate as a qualification.

Others supported @bantu_womann's views, claiming that R2 500 was too little to pay a working employee.

Keiah commented:

"If this is learnership then it's fine it's not a job but you still studying can you guys grow up because you also pay fees while studying."

Obzaza responded:

"You'd rather wait for R350 monthly."

"It's a stipend and not a salary/wage as it is an internship. That stipend is meant for your transport as this is a learning opportunity."

"Candidate attorneys who have graduated can earn even less. It's horrifying."
