Cosatu calls for state agencies such as Sassa to be reabsorbed into public service by MandiNyathi

This was the call made by Cosatu at a media briefing in Braamfontein on Thursday following the central executive committee meeting.

Cosatu also said it was supportive of a development approach that explores strategic partnerships with the private sector. However the union now supports the reintegration of entities such as Sassa as this could prevent ailing SOEs from suffering further financial distress and having to rely on bailouts from government.

Ntshalintshali also warned against the idea that privatisation was the solution to all SOEs’ problems and made reference to the 900 workers that were retrenched by the ArcelorMittel plant in Saldanha Bay early this month.
