Dozens of retrenched Post Office workers are expected to protest at the state-owned enterprise’s headquarters in Tshwane on Friday over the non-payment of severance packages and UIF.
The workers claim that since their retrenchments on 30 April, there has been confusion over the processing of their pension funds and unemployment insurance funds.
They said talks between them and Communications Minister Mondli Gungubele fell flat, and that they had now resorted to demonstrating.
