For once I don't disagree with all their demands, some of them are agreeable - only some.

Like the ANC cares if people stop working for a day, ANC still getting paid.

 

[GrootVoet]

If COSATU wants real change they will encourage their members to not vote ANC next year.

  • No, we don't have the money
• Extend the Presidential Employment Stimulus to accommodate 1 million active participants in October 2023 and 2 million in February 2024.
  • No we don't have the money
• Ensure the implementation of the two pot pension reforms on 1 March 2024.
  • Yeah thats fine really, think its happening anyway so why strike over this?
• Unblock the delays in the rollout of the public infrastructure programme.
  • You mean deal with the corruption? Yeah I can get behind this. Though Cosatu, you lot need to step up in terms of helping deal with the Business Forums
• Intervene in the 36 municipalities routinely failing to pay their employees.
  • So the ANC must intervene in the ANC to get employees paid? Yeah, gonna happen promise.
• Repeal the Municipal Systems Amendment Act clause banning all 350 000 municipal workers from holding office in a political party at any level.
  • No.
• Urgently intervene to rebuild and modernise Transnet and Metro Rail.
  • With what money?
• Urgently intervene to prevent the collapse and liquidation of the Post Office.
  • No, we don't have the money. The Post Office is dead and has been for years, stop wasting tax payers money on this corpse.
• Allocate additional resources to ensure the SAPS, NPA, SIU, Hawks and judiciary are sufficiently resourced to win the war against crime and corruption.
  • Can definitely get behind this, there is a nice beefy budget in the VIP area that can be reallocated to the NPA, Hawks, SIU.
• Allocate further funds to SARS to tackle tax evasion and customs fraud.
  • Don't really think SARS needs additional funds to deal with that at this point.
• Fill out all funded public service and sector vacancies by December 2023.
  • Can also get behind this, so long as those vacancies are filled by relevantly qualified staff and that there are proper KPIs attached to the jobs
