Unions at loggerheads with the Defence Force

The South African Security Forces Union has slammed the National Defence Force for giving the impression that the North Gauteng High Court has deregistered military unions.

Sasfu says Friday’s ruling simply stated that the union’s application for an interdict against its deregistering was not urgent.

Spokesperson Bhekinkosi Mvovo says the ruling emphasises that the union has the right to continue to represent members.

Mvovo also disputes the Ministry of Defence’s argument that things had improved since it stopped all engagement with unions.
