‘Jo’burg uses our fees for slush fund’

The City of Johannesburg is investigating allegations that money was stolen from an account holding R29-million of union members’ subscription fees.

The decision to keep the subscription fees in the suspense account was taken by Samwu officials in 2015, in the wake of an internal battle over the millions of rands that went missing from union coffers between 2012 and 2015. At least four of the five organisers named in the cease and desist letter have now been placed on precautionary suspension, according to letters seen by the Mail & Guardian.

Lukhwareni’s letter responding to Samwu’s list of demands handed over during last week’s protest, addresses the suspension of workers through action taken by Mashaba, who resigned on Monday over the Democratic Alliance’s own internal problems. He said the Samwu members who signed the MoU had recently been brought back into the fold in an effort to promote unity in the union.He added that the union had hoped to mend its internal divisions before going to the city with its demands.
