The South African Democratic Teachers Union says Finance Minister, Tito Mboweni, must desist from cutting the public sector wage bill.
Sadtu secretary-general, Mungwena Maluleka, says the corrupt, not civil servants, should be liable for the current situation the public sector is facing.
The plan has sparked angry reaction from labour. Unions have threatened to embark on protests, saying the government wants to renege on the terms of a public sector wage deal struck in 2018. They say officials informed them on Tuesday that they could not afford to pay public servants wage increases that were meant to come into force in April 2020, for the final year of the three-year deal.
