Moneyweb reports that employees of the City of Tshwane, except for those banking at Absa, did not receive their salaries for September on Monday morning as expected.
The City, which has been struggling to pay Eskom and is facing the disconnection of electricity services as a result, however, denied being at fault. City spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the administration was in contact with the other banks and expected payment to be made before midnight on Monday. The following message was sent by the City to internal staff: “The non-payment of salaries to some employees was as a result of a technical glitch on the part of Absa, and not because of the financial crunch the city is facing and dealing with. The glitch was occasioned by the public holiday on Saturday, 24 September. By law, we have until midnight to pay the salaries. Absa has acknowledged the error on their part and are sorting the matter. Salaries will be paid today (Monday).” The SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) in Tshwane slammed the non-payment in a statement.
