Trust is essential to a successful working relationship between domestic workers and their employers. 

That's because they have access to everything in your house, and you let them in to your most private areas.

A family in Modimolle, Limpopo found itself as a victim of crime carried out by their domestic worker. 

The woman, who is reportedly from Lesotho, reportedly stole R120,000 from the family. 

The money was kept in a safe.
