The state-owned arms company says it is doing all it can to find the money but unions are running out of patience

State arms manufacturer Denel has missed a court-imposed deadline to pay all staff their outstanding salaries, pension contributions, insurance and other outstanding payments.

Most medical aid payments and all pension, life insurance and other amounts have not been paid for the past three months. On Tuesday, labour court judge Andre Venter ordered the munitions manufacturer to make payment in full by Friday saying it had “breached the most fundamental obligation of an employer in an employment relationship”.“The union’s view is no further postponement is acceptable,” said Helgard Cronje, Solidarity sector co-ordinator for defence and aviation.
