“Private security officers are not going to be seen in any building, any shop, any school or properties,” said Khumbulani Moyo, spokesperson for the private security sector unions., Philemon Bhembe, national coordinator at the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union , said that unions want to continue to be paid a monthly salary and for the industry not to move to an hourly rate – as proposed by employers.
Bhembe said that the industry was declared an essential service during the Covid-19 period, putting their lives on the line and not seeing any remuneration increase. Unions are also asking for family responsibility leave to be extended from five to seven days.
