In a move that could trigger a public sector strike finance minister Enoch Godongwana has endorsed government’s decision to unilaterally implement a 3% wage increase for all public servants, plus a R1,000 monthly gratuity.
SIMPHIWE NKWALI
On Tuesday Nxesi invoked Section 5 to implement a 3% salary wage increase for public servants after talks with public sector unions collapsed. Treasury said in the 2022 medium-term budget policy statement that over the past 15 years the wage bill had grown as a result of above-inflation wage increases.
Treasury said in the MTBPS that over the past several years, the government had taken steps to contain consolidated compensation costs, which accounted for 31.4% of consolidated expenditure in 2022/23, down from 34.5% in 2019/2020.
