No pay for workers for 4 months, says bankrupt Eastern Cape municipality

[supersunbird]

The SABC is retrenching but I don't see half of SA burning.

Weak union that.

no ways, didn't know there where people in the eastern cape earning salaries
thought that whole area was on social grants

 

[Vrotappel]

Making people work without pay, isn't that slavery ?

No pay no work will apply.

However it used to be no work full pay.

The whole system is a mess. So this is the district municipality. They provide certain services while there are other services handled by various other munis in the same overlapping area. This is why the country is a bos.

That's what happens when you hire 900 people you don't need and pay yourself fat increases.

More than 900 people who were not needed were hired by Amathole District Municipality from 2013 to 2018, causing a bloated organogram and unaffordable salary bill.

I also don't see it as a BEE issue... corruption, cronyism, nepotism, definitely... but not so sure we can call it a BEE issue.

BEE and AA is great enablers for things that go wrong.

BEE and AA makes it easy to appoint the looting cadre or redeploy the looting cadre. I mean skin color is the most important thing in SA.

I don't see this happening...

They have run out of money, even maxed their credit.

I blame the Frog Boiler for this mess, ever since he took over there's suddenly no money for Luthuli House salaries, no money for SABC worker's salaries, no money for municipal workers, I am sure if someone looks hard enough they'll find that money is diverted to some WMC project or something.

Wow. Slow down a bit.

Ramaphosa is to blame for many things but do you have any evidence that the 25% collection rate of this municipality is his fault?

Are you saying he didn't pay the bill for his holiday home?

That 25% collection rate wasn't a problem when uBaba was still running the place, I smell a Frog here.

Chickens coming home to roost.

ANC doesn't want foreign investment in SA (from western countries)... so ANC create "jobs" in government positions. And it's all tumbling down... oops!

How do you get rid of the bloated workforce now. Unions will strike and burn down half of SA because some ANC Cadre decided to employ his whole family and friend to work there.

Pure ANC excellence, approved by the majority Black voters. Viva!

 

[Hellhound105]

Please keep voting ANC.

You guys are making my day with these posts.

After the 4 months, they should mention they are still bankrupt and no pay indefinitely.
But of course pay increases for the guys higher up on the food chain please.

**** it, if the ANC needs more people to write speeches, I volunteer my services for free.

Your white self would also vote for them if they offered you 900 jobs for life. Admit it.

Try harder buddy.

 

[Thugscub]

The whole Goddamn country is going for a ball of shiz.
The useless thieving cnts.
Vote for them again you stupid bloody idiots.
Eating sand will soon become a hobby for the stupid dumb cnts.

 

[Budza]

If I were a worker, doing my job at that municipality, I would take action against those that have literally taken food from my table. But that's me.

Yup.

The fat cats house needs attention, not the local municipal infrastructure...

 

[op365]

Wait so I am thinking to myself, a monthly salary bill of R65000000 / 1670 employees and traditional leaders = R38922 if everyone was paid the same. My word no wonder they ran out of money! Never mind their collection issues...
