This mini thesis will consider the precarious nature of domestic work and the various rights domestic workers have in South Africa. The research is aimed towards establishing how the legislature could improve the legislative rights and remedies that are availed to domestic workers. The mini thesis will also be focusing on domestic workers’ rights in the jurisdictions of Singapore and Morocco in comparison to the South African context. The research will also analyze international laws and conventions regarding domestic workers and whether those laws are implemented in South Africa or can possibly be implemented into the South African labour legislation.
