EWN reports that ANC acting secretary general Paul Mashatile has written to the party’s branches – to apologise for delays to the nomination process caused by a staff go-slow.
The nominations that were meant to take place have been affected by staffers who are picketing due to non-payment of salaries. Pickets started last week – over salary issues dating back to December 2019. Disgruntled staff members claimed the ANC had failed to make good on its promise to pay their salaries despite past commitments to do so. Mashatile indicated in a letter that the staffers would be continuing with their demonstrations until 26 September "notwithstanding partial payments made." The nomination process is due to end on 2 October.
