News24 reports that SA Communist Party (SACP) staffers at both its head office and provincial offices have been warned to expect late payments in April after the party failed to pay salaries last month.
National treasurer Joyce Moloi-Moropa told employees in a letter to brace themselves for yet another difficult month: "Please be advised that due to financial flow challenges the April 2020 salaries will be delayed." She blamed the disruption to its finances on issues such as unemployment and the economic distress being experienced in the country. This has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 outbreak, which has seen the country going into a national lockdown and citizens being ordered to stay home. Moloi-Moropa also admitted that there have been difficulties for most of the year, with salaries being paid days after it should have been. When funding is secured, it will apparently be focused on staffers and not the political leaders of the organisation. The SACP has had numerous financial troubles over the years, which also saw the party receiving support and being housed by labour federation Cosatu at its headquarters.
