The South African Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) in the Eastern Cape has called for the cash-strapped Amatole District Municipality to be placed under administration.

Samwu said it was shocked and angered by a circular last week from Municipal Manager Thandekile Mnyimba, informing workers and councillors that they would not be paid for a period of four months.
A memorandum was issued by the municipality advising the employees, councillors and traditional leaders would not be paid for February, April, May and June due to “strained financial resources”.
