Most of us can’t stand the smell of a dumpsite for a minute.
Waste pickers at Dandora Dumpsite spend hours there every day; facing health risks, violence, and stigma.
Yet their work keeps cities clean.
The real question: why are they still invisible?

Ending the taxation of poverty is a first step. Real credibility will depend on whether workers see better services, jobs, and protection in return.
Fair tax policy is labour policy.

Workers keep telling us the same thing: apply for another job quietly, get found out, get punished.

That’s a governance shift. But wage policy only delivers fairness when backed by enforcement, social dialogue, and links to skills and social protection. Development isn’t just growth; it’s how work is valued and protected.

Regulation without worker protection is incomplete governance.

South African workers are earning more in real terms; but millions are still jobless or stuck in insecure work. The gap between recovery and reality is growing.

This isn’t just about administration; it’s about power and class.

From Kampala to Riyadh; Uganda’s migrant workers leave home for hope, but often find exploitation: long hours, withheld wages, and no protection.
Work crosses borders. So must justice.
