The “rich auntie” & “rich uncle” title is one that has various meanings in most cases pointing towards members of a family who wield a lot of power in the family as a result of their financial and academic success, and social class. These individuals, and their children, frequently navigate complex dynamics between traditional obligations and modern, individualized lifestyles, serving as both providers and potential sources of conflict. This evening we look at the impact of the “rich auntie” and/or “rich uncle” in families.

Households not meeting the required minimum wage for domestic workers. The Labour Department raised concerns over non-compliance with the national minimum wage, citing farm owners and
households as the main culprits. The national minimum wage is set to increase from R28.79c to
R30.23c per hour, from the 1st of March 2026. The South African Domestic Workers Forum has welcomed the government's minimum wage increase but says much needs to be done to ensure that employers comply with the legally required minimum wage and don’t mistreat their domestic workers.

Normalised, systemic corruption in South Africa has become deeply entrenched across public and private sectors, and society at large. It has evolved from grand-scale looting to "everyday" bribery, nepotism, and patronage in our everyday lives. This normalisation of corruption has resulted in public apathy, a breakdown in service delivery, and a culture where corruption is viewed as unavoidable and a normal way of life in the country.
