Johannesburg - The embattled South African Municipal Workers’ Union said on Wednesday that it has mandated its national office bearers to open criminal cases against other persons and companies involved in stealing money from the union account.
"The special CEC has therefore resolved that the attorneys which have been implicated in the report should be removed from the union’s panel of attorneys and also be reported to the law society," it said. Reports emerged this week that a damning forensic investigation revealed that millions of rands that was meant to be put aside as a strike fund to keep food on the tables of Samwu's striking members, were redirected to cover some of the union's operational costs and to buy T-shirts.
"According to Ernst & Young, Molalenyane is the only person who had access to the report, a report which was later leaked to the public." E&Y auditors also found no sufficient evidence to confirm allegations that a service provider was irregularly paid R3 million which was noted as storage fees in respect of the costs incurred in renovating the union's Johannesburg Head Office.

Samwu confirms R88m plunder of workers' coffers in three years | IOL NewsSamwu on Wednesday admitted that the workers' coffers had been plundered almost R88 million in just three years. These are the people who must be held accountable for the plundered R88 million: John Dlamini, President; Koena Ramatlou, General Secretary; Papikie Mohale, National Spokesperson As a SAMWU member I think fraudsters should face the might of the law. We pay monthly subscriptions not to make officials rich but as savings for our future and for officials to provide services to us as members of the UNION. The law that guide UNIONS should apply to fraudsters. So a union's function is to protect the workers rights in the workplace at a fee, which is then plundered. Is there anyone who really cares for the marginalized?
