ANC staff have vowed not to assist with campaigning for local government elections in protest against unpaid salaries. localelections ANC election2021
The party’s staff representative Mvusi Mdlala told Independent Media on Wednesday that it would be impossible for employees to assist with groundwork if their basic need of a salary was not met.
The workers were apparently promised their pay last week, but that has not happened to date, according to an employee who requested anonymity. “We are withholding our labour. People have had cars repossessed, people can't afford to pay school fees, bonds, rent … people are going hungry and starving so you can’t expect someone in that situation to work.”Mdala said staff were still owed July and August salaries and emphasised that there would be no question of participating in campaigning activities until they were paid.
