Anele on employee perks: ‘None of my staff pay for transport’
From cars to vacations abroad to free transport, here’s all the perks media personality Anele Mdoda offers her hired help.
Media personality Anele Mdoda is proving why she’s South Africa’s best boss after she revealed another perk about being her employee.
The radio and TV star has often tweeted about how she treats her staff, whom she claims “work hard.”
Anele has previously taken her domestic helper on a vacation abroad. She’s also called out several Tweeps for their treatment of their hired help.
ANELE MDODA PAYS FOR STAFF’S TRANSPORT
In a tweet, Anele Mdoda called on the government to subsidise transport costs for low-income earning South Africans.
She shared: “Nothing breaks my heart more than when a waiter asks for his tip to be in cash so he can have transport money to go to and from work.
She continued: “Isn’t there a way where government subsidies transport for the workforce in our country? I tell you, if transport was close to free, we would be able to free up more spend for breadwinners”.
Reflecting on her own employees, she added: “None of my staff pay for their transport. I cover that. It’s not their fault they live so far from where they work..”

“Wow, Anele, God bless you,” said one follower. Another added: “Flo is living her best life”.
But when one tweep commented that Flo was “lucky,” she clapped back: “Flo works very hard. There is no luck here.”
In 2017, Anele made headlines after she bought Flo an Audi A3 worth over R300 000. She also revealed that her helper gets a fully-paid month’s leave during the festive period.

The 947 presenter has also previously put two X users on blast over the treatment of their staff, one for denying her domestic helper a festive break and another for offering to pay her live-in nanny just R2 500.
Hayi andazi, who is this 33 year old that must earn R2500 a month. We have to come to terms with the fact that we can’t afford full time nannies. This is evil https://t.co/1WCNr2mYqM

These stories of you mistreating your domestic helpers knowing full well you are going to set the timeline alight bore me. You walk amongst people whose parents were actually mistreated in those roles and you come here and use it to trend. You are the piece of crust that…
