Africa market update with Standard Bank’s Jacques Els

The Zimbabwean government has raised the minimum monthly wage for domestic workers from $85 to $90 in an attempt to ease pressure on low-income earners facing rising living costs. While the increase offers some relief, the country’s domestic worker wage has been criticised for remaining low compared with rates in South Africa, Kenya and Egypt.
