Pule Mabe: ANC management to continue talking to staffers over unpaid salaries

The African National Congress (ANC) said that management would continue to talk to frustrated personnel as staffers across the country prepared to picket over the non-payment of salaries.

The ANC has not paid its employees for several months now.

In a letter to staff on Wednesday, the party told workers it was not in a position to pay outstanding salaries for July and August.

Despite the failure’, the ANC insisted it was not broke. Instead, it said that it had some cash-flow problems.

The party’s Pule Mabe said that it was not the first time the party found itself in this position.

“When I was treasurer-general of the youth league, I was also a full-time employee of the organization, drawing a salary from the movement and when there were challenges, Comrade Matthew would do the same, advise us that we will not be getting our salaries on time,” he said.
