Nine public sector trade unions say they will strike over wages.Many of those wishing to strike are classified as essential servicesNine public sector trade unions said on Thursday they will embark on an"indefinite strike" to force the government to raise last year's wage increase.

Fedusa, which includes the 235 000-strong Public Servants Association , supported strike action last year and held a number of one-day protest actions. Fedusa stated on Thursday that their affiliates were ready to move on and begin talks on the 2023/24 settlement. Government has been determined to arrest the growth of the wage bill, which has outpaced CPI since 2008. Slowing down the wage bill is a key part of the strategy of National Treasury to borrow less and bring debt service costs under control.
