The union says issues include the bid for the controversial R26 billion to refurbish the Pretoria West and Rooiwal power stations and the non-payment of a 3.5% salary increase.
Samwu regional secretary in Tshwane, Mpho Tladinyane, says the march will start in Marabastad and proceed to Tshwane House. “We would also be raising issues of political interference in the administration, especially on supply chain processes, on collective bargaining and on disciplinary related issues of employees. Further to that, we would also be raising the disappearance of six rhinos at Rietvlei Nature Reserve, the 80 buses that are parked at the depot due to expired licence discs and no fuel. We will be raising issues of the non-payment of our salary increase,” says Tladinyane.
Msimanga says they are disappointed that its coalition partner, ActionSA, voted against a report that will help make the city independent of Eskom and rolling blackouts.Share article
