Cosatu slams Tito Mboweni Budget Speech 2020

Parliament - The Congress of South African Trade Unions on Wednesday branded Finance Minister Tito Mboweni's 2020 budget "provocative" and his plans to curb the civil service wage bill an unwarranted attack on workers.

Mboweni said government would trim R160.2 billion off the public wage bill over three years, which will see consolidated compensation spending contract by about one per cent in real terms over the medium term. The minister said he believed the labour movement and the treasury would "find each other" on the subject, but Cosatu took a combative stance.

Government is using up over a third of our entire budget on its own wages... So there's no money left for bricks after you've paid the bricklayer's wages? And you continue to pay him every month to sit and wait for bricks that are never coming? How screwed up is this logic?

For South Africa to get back to winning, in economy, sports, innovation.... We have to get rid of Unions just like China is getting rid of coronavirus;_cosatu Zwelinzima1, IrvinJimSA are our own coronavirus!

That's what they were campaigning for in 2019 election so stop making us stupid
