Listen below as the Urbanites advise Nandi on how to handle her predicament. 

Dear Thando

I recently got my first permanent job as a junior sales executive for a car dealership.

 My mother has been supporting me since I was in varsity and working as an intern and not earning money.

Now she is demanding to know how much I earn and to see my payslip. But I'm not sure I want to show it to her cause I don't wanna be a victim of black tax.

But I also feel guilty cause she has always supported me and she says when I wasn't earning anything I was very transparent and now that I'm working, I'm hiding things. I don't know what to do? Please help.

Nandi, Chesterville.
