Public Works employees sleep outside post office for a week waiting to be paid | Business

GroundUp

They say electricity outages in Komani, Eskom load shedding, and poor service by the staff have forced them to sleep outside the post office and wait for days before getting paid. "On Tuesday and Wednesday last week I couldn’t get my salary because the electricity was off. Then on Thursday and Friday the post office had to close because there was a total shutdown by Komani residents."

Nolulama Ngaba, from Lady Frere, said it has been a struggle since the Lady Frere post office closed in 2016."We then had to come all the way here to Komani Post Office to receive our salaries … Taxi fare became a big problem for us. A taxi from where I live is R120 return trip. But for other people who live in distant places the taxi fare is R180."

"Last night I had to buy two litres of milk for R25 on credit to make porridge for my family. If I don’t get my money today we will sleep on empty stomachs," she said.
