WATCH: Samwu workers storm Tshwane House demand outstanding payments

Pretoria - Chaos broke out at Tshwane House on Tuesday as angry workers affiliated to the South African Municipal Workers' Union stormed the municipal headquarters after they deadlocked with the employer over their outstanding "benchmarking" payments.

The benchmarking payouts were expected to be in line with a collective agreement reached by the parties last year. While the metro's grading was moved from level 9 to 10, the employees’ salary scales were never adjusted accordingly. "The only money that we need is R756 million to cover our payments. Two weeks back they said they have R300 million to pay for benchmarking.
