Most of the public servants’ unions have accepted government’s current wage offer.
About 66-percent unions have singed the seven-point-five-percent wage increase and an 800-Rands monthly housing allowance agreement.
The Public Service and Administration Minister Richard Baloyi said, “the opportunity still exists for several more unions to agree to the deal, but added that the 66-percent majority ensures that government will implement the resolution and begin the paperwork immediately.
This move by the unions has calmed fears of continued strike action.
