Newly appointed Finance MEC Francois Rodgers announced the closure of the office, in a bid to cut costs.

DURBAN - The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union in KwaZulu-Natal has raised concern over the closure of the Durban finance offices.

But NEHAWU in the province wants Rodgers to reconsider his decision. The union has welcomed Rodgers’ decision to close off the department’s Durban office.“There is a process in terms of the relocation policy that must be followed if the department is embarking on the process of closing the office, and that process is very clear that there must be meaningful consultation.”

Zulu also raised concern that workers who stay in Durban would now have to travel to Pietermaritzburg, which is almost an hour away.“The closing of the office is certainly not going to be impacting on their position within Treasury so that shouldn’t be a problem.”NEHAWU in the province has threatened Rodgers with legal action if he does not reverse his decision to close the department's Durban offices.
