This book Wages Of Laborers Crying Out is about unskilled, those without high school education who work as laborers. Some are educated people who find themselves unemployed and take jobs to work as laborers to fight poverty and unemployment. People find themselves working as laborers for various reasons such as poverty, lack of education due to poverty, teenage pregnancy, immigrating to other countries and laziness. There are young people who are lazy to study and succumb to dropping out of school because they don't want to study. In this book I focus on those who are determined and hard working. Their wages are crying out because they are being exploited. I mean there are some madams who pay day shift domestic worker R800.00 instead of R1500.00. They call such workers cheap labor. There are gardeners who are paid R100.00 instead of R200.00 for the work they do. I remember some laborers where hired by one madam to cut down some trees. They charged her R300.00 to cut down the trees and take the wood to throw at the dump. She felt that was too much. When she complained to me I offered to cut down the trees and take the wood, she gave me R100.00. I arranged three of my mother's tenants to help me carry the wood and we used it to boil water to bath. I worked as a domestic worker, cleaned a 7 bedroom house scrubbing floors on my knees. The house had two bathrooms and two large verandas. I also cleaned the yard and removed dog pooh. Madam would not increase my wages - she used to pay a gardener to clean the yard. She boasted that she was saving big time. There are builders who are paid weekly wages which are very low. The employer makes millions out of the houses he is building but pay his builders a few thousands. Not considering their health in long term but only his pocket. Why then must wages not cry out to God when poor people are being exploited everyday? One finds people sick not knowing exactly what is wrong with them. Little do they remember how they exploited their workers in robbing them in wages.
About the Author: Doreen C. Mampani is a Christian author from South Africa. She is married to Katalay Mampani and God blessed them with a daughter L'amour Mampani.

She suffered racism in her home and communities. Born to a Colored woman whose mother was White. She was rejected by some Vendas, Coloreds, Indians and foreign nationals. Doreen wrote some of her books while being unemployed and not owning a computer or laptop and no source of income. Some of the notebooks she found in garbage bins and also used old diaries which she asked from people to write her manuscripts. She borrowed laptops, she cleaned internet café and was given time to type her books on their computers. She also did some domestic work and recycling work to make some money. This she did in spite of being a qualified Human Resources Officer and Skills Development Facilitator. God has honored her hard work in that her books are available world-wide. Doreen suffered poverty as a child and as an adult. Her books are based on real life experience of her and people she meets. She claims not to have achieved rather she glories God for enabling her to write life changing stories. God asked Abraham "Is there anything too hard for the LORD?" The answer is the same as it was then, NOTHING is too hard for our God. Her writing career started when she lost her job, her husband's business was not doing well, and they did not have any source of income to the level of losing their material possessions. She wrote most of her books with limited resources, seating on the floor, old bed, old couch, buckets, without a proper table. She had no anti-virus software and lost some of her manuscripts and had to retype them. She did not have source of income therefore had to walk far to get to the internet café to type her books and to source funding. Sometimes she did not have deodorant therefore smelled sweat which is not a good thing most especially when you are sourcing funds and meeting with people. She walked in dangerous places and depended on God for protection.
