He collects and drops of workers, and helps overseeing work. He also then teaches me of things I would not know, building techniques and such advisory. Compensation is benefits of some small allowance of R1000 when needed, but rather living with me with his wife, and providing food. This is at a value of about R8000 pm in total. Term indefinitely and then I will get a supervisor which I will pay to help me.
