Civil servants to govt: We'll down tools if salary increases are frozen

JOHANNESBURG - Civil servants have threatened to go on a national strike if government's plans to freeze their salary increases for the next three years actually materialises.

The Public Servants Association said it was not that difficult, government must recoup the money lost as a result of corruption as taking money from workers was simply not fair. “Just because we are getting an above-inflation salary, doesn’t mean we are super-rich. Get the money from Bosasa, the Guptas, municipalities all the money that has been looted.”

MiaLindeque Let them strike. Will we even notice. Half of them don't work in any cade

MiaLindeque Fckit , any civil offices you visit , these ' poepols ' are permanently on ' strike ' dah !!!!!!!!!!

MiaLindeque I for one will not get an increase or a bonus for the forseable future. Yet state has already threatened tax increases. I will fully support a tax revolt if the govt gives in to union demands
