No he is correct, his calculation is R17 x 24 hours x 31 days and then rounded down.

That aside, it is in the interest of the unions to have employee income as high as possible, more money available to be spent on union membership fees to pay for those new bmw.

Trevor Shaku SAFTU National Spokesperson said any job that is below minimum living wage which is R17 per hour, which amounts to R12 500 per month, was an insult. He said they wanted the government to change the minimum wage fromR4 000 saying it was not helping people.

In South Africa, you will get by with scraps if you are single and earning below R30k a month after deductions. If I was them I'd fight this. Minimum wage should be R30k for an individual and R120k a month if you are a family of 3 or R200k a month minimum wage if you have a family of 5.

South Africa is just simply an expensive country to live in.
