Organisation calls for full public disclosure of records documenting the appointments and salary increases of new employees in eThekwini.
Durban - The Organisation for Undoing Tax Abuse in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday called for full public disclosure of records documenting the appointments and salary increases of new employees in eThekwini Metro's Durban Solid Waste department.
The strike by workers from the Water and Sanitation Unit, including Durban Solid Waste , has led to water being cut off for days in certain areas, with the city labeling the move "sabotage". "This issue needs to be seriously investigated. The city is trying to pass a R50.8-billion consolidated budget - an 11 percent increase on 2018/19 – which is coming out of the pockets of already over-stretched city residents," Tyrell said in a statement.
According to the city's 2018/19 adjusted budget, employee-related costs account for 29.89 percent of total revenue, excluding capital transfers and contributions.
