Since the 10 March 2021 Constitutional Court ruling, all households in Stellenbosch employing domestic workers must register with the Compensation Fund. This applies to nannies, gardeners, household drivers, caregivers, and cleaners — regardless of hours worked.
If your domestic worker is injured at your Stellenbosch home and you are not registered, you become personally liable for all medical costs and potential civil claims. Registration protects both you and your worker.
Even if your domestic worker only comes one day per week in Stellenbosch, you must register. There is no exemption for part-time or casual employment.
