The Congress of South African
Trade Unions says in a statement, it can confirm that it met with the ANC on Monday
regarding concerns about the new tax amendment laws and its effects on worker’s
retirement funds.
“At
our meeting we made clear to the ANC that this issue is the mandate for the
workers. The Congress gave us a mandate
to oppose this law and COSATU is not going to abandon that mandate”, said
Sizwe Pamla.
He added that… “The ANC understood our reasons why we
oppose this law although they understood it, but they couldn’t really come up
with a solution to the pass between us and the Government”.
“So they
then promised that they were going to go back to engage with treasuries and
other government stakeholders. So what does that mean, it means that nothing
has changed”, said Pamla.
