Public Sector Workers March in Pretoria GroundUp_News: SouthAfrica
Masibonge Makhanya is a community health worker from KwaMbungulu in KwaZulu-Natal. He says he works in a rural community and earns a low salary though his contract is renewed yearly. He wants a housing allowance and medical aid.Hundreds of members of the National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers and other unions marched to the departments of Health and Social Development and the National Treasury in Pretoria on Tuesday.
Among the marchers were community health workers, cleaners, security guards and Expanded Public Works Programme workers who believe they are being exploited. NUPSAW president Monwabisi Titus Daniso said the departments took for granted the work done by these workers."Remuneration negotiations are still in the Bargaining Council, but the issues need to be addressed. If our demands are not met we are going to continue. It's time workers are taken seriously," he said.
