POLL: Would you work as an intern for R30 a day?
Following the backlash South Africa's edition of international magazine, Marie Claire received on social media over the stipend interns are paid, we're asking listeners whether they would work for an equivalent amount.
Social media users took to Twitter to slam the publication after an advertisement surfaced, stating that the payment for its intern programme is R30 a day.
The candidate selected will be employed for six months, working between 8:30am and 5pm, the advertisement says.
In a statement on its website, CEO of Associated Media Publishing Julia Raphaely said the company is reviewing the programme.

"We empower participants through mentoring from industry heavyweights, helping them to build a portfolio of work and content, and facilitating crucial relationships within the industry.
'"We will discuss this with key stakeholders in the business and make changes. We will be transparent about the outcome once a decision has been made."
We want to hear from you. Would you work for R30 a day?
