They charged me to prevent me from Transnet executive position â Siyabonga Gama
Share
Johannesburg - Former Transnet chief executive officer Siyabonga Gama has told the Commission of Inquiry into state capture that his disciplinary charges in 2009 at the freight rail agency were a ploy to prevent him from succeeding Maria Ramos as the GCEO.
Gama was reacting to questions posed by the evidence leader advocate Anton Myburgh that his reinstatement to the post as CEO in April 2011 had been politically motivated and former president Jacob Zuma was behind it.
Advocate Myburgh based his questions on the testimony of former Public Enterprise Minister Barbara Hogan who testified about her short spell as minister in May 2009.

Public sector unions vow to get better wages for their members

Johannesburg - Public sector unions have unanimously demanded that the government give them a 4% salary increase across the board or face their wrath.
The unions tabled their demands at the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council on Monday. Included in their demand was an urgent call to the government to abolish levels 1 to 3 and allow all public servants to be employed on an entry level 4.
The unions are also demanding that the government increase the housing allowance to R2 500, saying the current amount of R1 300 was too little.
Mugwena Maluleke, who represents Cosatu affiliated unions at the Bargaining Council, was on Tuesday adamant that their demands were a “mutual interest” matter for the workers and the employer.

The hospitality sector has been granted an urgent interdict to halt the implementation of new labour rules amid an ongoing collective agreement fight.
The Federated Hospitality Association of South Africa (Fedhasa) and the Restaurant Collective have successfully stopped the new bargaining council rules from taking effect until the legal matter is heard in court.
Restaurants owners and food outlets were shocked last month when the Labour Department unilaterally extended the bargaining councilâs collective agreement to include employers who were not previously part of the council.
