Public servants who staged a march through the streets of central Durban on Tuesday have fired the first salvo in their bid to get government to meet their demands for 10% wage increase.

He accused Ramaphosa, finance minister Enoch Godongwane and labour minister Thulas Nxesi of being unsympathetic to workers. He expressed dismay they had been sending a string of memorandums to government, without any response.Just before Cosatu provincial secretary Edwin Mkhize took to the podium to address the hundreds of workers, two marchers set the tone for him by burning incense.“We are gathered here to express, on behalf of thousands of workers, our anger and frustration.

Mkhize said the workers were demanding an end to the government's attack on collective bargaining and wanted it to show its commitment by implementing a resolution that was signed in 2018.“We demand the insourcing of all outsourced services which in the main are owned by politicians,” said Mkhize. He said the challenges faced by government workers should also be understood in a context of deep austerity measures implemented by the ANC.

“Mboweni had proudly stated the government did not implement public service salary increases for the 2020/21 financial year and that performance bonuses are already being phased out,” said Mkhize.
