The Public Servants Association (PSA) announced on Monday afternoon that it had reached an agreement with the South African Revenue Service to end its strike at the tax authority.
. In a WhatsApp message to Fin24 at 3.15pm on Monday, the union’s spokesperson Khaya Xaba said it was still consulting with its members.
“Sars can under current circumstances ill-afford to be operating under capacity, as the country struggles to collect revenue, while [teetering] on the brink of possible credit-rate cuts. The PSA and Nehawu, which jointly represent about 9 000 workers, went on strike on Thursday in a walkout that affected services at Sars offices, border posts and harbours across the country.
Members of both unions voted on the agency’s latest offer on Monday, following meetings on Friday and Sunday.
