As you asked us to do, I interviewed the lady that cleans my house. Her name is Genny Moh and she has been working WITH us for more than 6 years. She's part of our family and we are blessed because of having her near to us. She is in charge of cleaning our house and ironning our clothes. She comes twice a week.
Genny told me that all what she earns is for her family. She is the mother of three children (the youngest girl often comes to my house) and she is married to a police man. She only works for us because she has to take care of her children.
We pay her 200 pesos every day she comes, so she earns 1,600 monthly. I don't know how much his husband earns, but I can say it is not very much. We are happy everytime we can help her as a retribution of everything she does in my house!

Group Rights controversy in South Africa
Group rights are increasingly put forward as a solution to what is seen as the
growing fragmentation of national states. By legally affirming cultural pluralism,
it is held, states can ensure political stability and at the same time grant individuals
citizenship in a more meaningful way.
Group rights have historically been used both to infringe upon and to facilitate individual rights, and the concept remains controversial.Group rights are not straightforwardly HUMAN RIGHTS because they are group-differentiated rather than universal to all people just by virtue of being human.
For example, in South Africa under the former Apartheid regime, which classified inhabitants and visitors into racial groups (black, white, coloured and Indian). Rights were awarded on a group basis, creating first and second class citizens.
I searched a lot about the Apartheid and I found out an article that was published 11 years ago. It talks about Apartheid and post-Apartheid in South Africa. Here is the link:
