IOL reports that Statistics SA is still facing woes over its failure to fully pay staffers recruited for the Census 2022 campaign.
Last week, frustrated census field workers and supervisors picketed outside the organisation’s headquarters in Pretoria where they delivered a memorandum of demands. These included their call for Stats SA to provide answers on their contracts and remuneration. On Monday, field workers confirmed that some had received their salaries, but not in full. "I personally have not been paid. We were supposed to be paid on March 25 and they gave us excuses. Even today we did not receive any communication from Stats SA," said one field worker. Another field worker added that they had been calling the Stats SA offices to enquire about the salaries, but calls were not being answered. Stats SA spokesperson Trevor Oosterwyk, who was sent questions last week regarding the payments, said he was unaware of the issue as he had been on leave. Oosterwyk, however, agreed to respond to the questions sent to him as soon as he had full information on the salary payments.
