Picture Of Family Celebrating While Maid Looks On Ignites Debate

A picture of an apparent mother and her children celebrating what looks like a birthday while another woman (supposedly their domestic worker) looks on with a sad face, is going viral on social media in Zimbabwe.

It’s not clear what the source of the picture is and in what exact circumstances it was taken. It’s not even if it’s a real-life picture or a depiction by actors.

The picture has however ignited discussion on the on the plight of some domestic workers in Zimbabwe, who are usually treated with less dignity than the members of the family they work for.
