SAMWU welcomes Treasury’s decision to finally release the equitable share due to municipalities by 31 July. However, the harm has already been done. Workers went unpaid, salary increases delayed and families were pushed into hardship. This reckless approach must never be repeated – at Kempton Park, South Africa

SAMWU condemns National Treasury’s reckless withholding of equitable share allocations, which has left municipal workers unpaid and denied the salary increases due today. Treasury officials have been paid while workers’ families face hunger. Release the funds and pay workers now! – at Johannesburg, South Africa
