"Cape Mural Collective: The South African Domestic Workers' Union recommends a monthly wage of R350 (about $140) for a full time domestic worker, but most women earn far less.   Unprotected by labour laws, and often having to abandon her own family for a 'sleep-in' job, the worker's life is one of alienation and struggle.   South Africa Will Never Be Free While the Women Are in Chains is the message spelt out in words and pictures on a series of ceramic plates made by the Cape Mural Collective.

Conceived specially for a Women's Festival in 1988, each plate was made by one of twelve women in the group."
