South African Govt Between Rock and Hard Place on EconomyPresident Cyril Ramaphosa called an urgent virtual meeting on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 with labour federations over the state of the country's coffers, after a meeting with Treasury. The government said in a statement that it had agreed with organised labour to work much more closely to speed up efforts for a more inclusive economy, job creation, and addressing poverty and inequality. However, the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) said the usual meeting which takes place with government every few months did not cover the new proposals made by Treasury, on the actions needed to rescue the economy, MoneyWeb reports. Treasury's proposals include the scrapping of specific government programmes and entire government departments to reduce costs. It has also mooted reducing the headcount in the public service by offering more attractive voluntary severance packages with a target of cutting 200,000 jobs.
