Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – The ANC says it will review a policy in which it retained the staff of former officials on the payroll.<\/p>\n

This will be done in an effort to tackle the party\u2019s revenue issues that caused over 300 workers to picket the organisation over late salary payments.<\/p>\n

Party spokesperson Pule Mabe said: \u201cWe are in the process of doing a second audit of our staff and we wish to assert that we do not have ghost workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current cash flow challenges are as a result of a variety of factors, including the general economic situation as well as an urgent need to modernise the ANC\u2019s operational and funding models.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to paying staff salaries and while the payments may not be at the end of every month, there will be a monthly payment. We acknowledge that the movement must do better to ensure that its staff are treated fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said the implementation of the Political Party Funding Act in April was another of the reasons behind the problem of late salary payments.<\/p>\n

Party staffers on Tuesday held a lunchtime picket against what they termed unfair labour practices and to air their frustrations after months of late salary payments.<\/p>\n

Western Cape ANC staff representative chairperson Mvusi Mdala said the party had not been paying UIF contributions, even though deductions still took place every month.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as many staff still waiting for their May wages, as workers we have not received a salary increment since 2018. That was also the last time the party made contributions to our provident fund.\u201d<\/p>\n

ANC Western Cape convener Lerumo Kalako said the protest came as no surprise and applauded it as legitimate and genuine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this province, we support them for picketing. We have raised the issue as a province with the national office. Last week we, as the provincial leadership, took the initiative to take up a collection for the staff which we handed over to the workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have given us an official briefing both in the provincial working committee and also at the provincial executive committee,\u201d said Kalako.<\/p>\n
