The South African Municipal Workers Union in Gauteng on Friday said it would approach the courts for urgent relief to ensure its members are paid their December salaries before Christmas.
“There is no caring government that will allow workers to be subjected to a black Christmas.
“Apart from subjecting workers to a black Christmas, the nonpayment of salaries will have dire consequences for workers noting that medical aid, retirement funds and insurance will not be paid. Workers will also not be in a position to buy school books for their children,” Samwu said. Eskom secured two orders against the municipality, with one secured in 2018 for R71m and the second in October 2022 for R1.3bn. The current account between September and November 2022 is R328m.
