Cuban engineers would get R300,000 per year more than South African engineers

Cuban engineers paid R300,000 more than South African engineers

The Cuban engineers brought to South Africa by the Department of Water Affairs and Sanitation will be paid up to R300,000 more per year than South African engineers who could do the same job.

This is according to labour union Solidarity, who today shared new details on the department's project ahead of its court challenge to have the importing of the engineers declared invalid.

The union confirmed that the Cuban engineers were given employment contracts and would be paid salaries, contrary to what water affairs minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s has stated in public following backlash over the project.

Who says the cadres aren't getting their cut?

As part of their remuneration, the engineers will receive flight tickets for holidays in Cuba, furnished accommodation, and food and telephone allowances, Solidarity said.

Willing to bet someone tendered to house the Cubans and furnish their accommodation.

isn't our Government lovely, helping to spread the Joys of communism locally.

Our local tenders would squander all the loot, the rest of the staff to do the work would do a half job, and not meet any deadlines
No proof, just a gut feeling

We're still playing the game where we're trying to figure out where you're from.

I learnt non-racialism in prison - former Boeremag member shares his journey

What did he actually do wrong? He planned to over throw the government? Gotta watch those old people, very dangerous. They're lucky. In some countries, they would have been hanged, drawn and quartered. In modern history, he would have faced death sentence kn places like China I think.

Not difficult. My daughters' grade 5 class would probably do a better job at doing any SA "engineers"' jobs.

SA's official unemployment rate increased to 32.6% in the first quarter of 2021, the highest since the start of the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) in 2008, Stats SA said on Tuesday.

I honestly believe the ANC has a kickback arrangement with Cuba. "Hey, we'll hire some of your guys and you send us X amount back for our party bank accounts as a donation". They're desperately trying to find new loopholes since their private backers have (apparently) basically disappeared since CR passed the party funding law.

Also, seems I have to send Solidarity more money.

So 12 years from now South Africa will be in good hands.

Well spotted. Who owns the house(s) etc? Someone connected probably....
