@clarkformaths What would you want to look into? Purely quantification? From our applicants, the number one reason for unemployment is that their previous employer is cutting costs, but a significant number are without work due to emigration, divorce or relocation.

[Sweepsouth @SweepSouthSA]

Moving away from loaded terms like “maid” and “char”, we’ve taken the approach of a fresh start with the term “SweepStar” to describe the people at the centre of what we do.

What are your thoughts on terms generally used for cleaning professionals?

@GGMatsheke Do you feel that @SweepSouthSA's success is defined by familial connections? If so, you don't know our story well. Take a closer look into our CEO's achievements and sacrifices. @aishapandor is not defined by her birth but rather through her exemplary leadership.

[Luke Kannemeyer @LukeKann]

@makhubukulz Would you rather we represent a pseudo-reality? This isn't a paid model. This is one of our actual top SweepStars. Core to our business is the upliftment of black womxn. I appreciate your comment though. #noyourenotracist #sweepsouth

@robkowa @alechogg We've always been open about our pay rates and how they compare to South African norms. We pay significantly more than minimum wage and more than South African averages. We have also been open about the fact the we believe cleaners should earn more. Nothing prevents you doing so.

[Alen Ribić @alenribic]

This is what scale @SweepSouthSA is beginning to look like. Over 7,000 of our #SweepStars (cleaners) in South Africa now have access to FREE Life and Disability Cover. This is just the beginning; keep an eye for more to come.

[Aisha R Pandor @aishapandor]

So proud to have @SweepSouthSA investor and African innovator @RealBlackCoffee fly the South African and African flag at @midem. We mustn't wait for someone else to save us, we must build our own solutions. Yes! 👏🏽 https://t.co/nlUy5uqWDj
