A fascinating aspect of the Cape Town municipal budget proposed for 2021-22 was highlighted by the Mayor when he declared it open for public comment.
He announced that the Council was asking the Government, in its negotiations with the South African Local Government Association (Salga) and the relevant bargaining council not to insist on another inflation-beating salary and wage increase for all municipal employees in the country.
Mayor Plato’s words are worth repeating:
He said:
“…
there will be a zero percent cost of living increase in the salaries and wages provision in the 2021/2022 financial year. To achieve this, the City will petition the Local Government Bargaining Council to not award any salary increases for staff and councillors”.
