TimesLive reports that Public Servants Association (PSA) members joined a nationwide strike by those aligned to several other public sector unions on Tuesday.

The strike took place in all provinces except the Western Cape, where there was an ongoing taxi strike. Unions belonging to Cosatu, Saftu and Fedusa marched to Treasury to hand over a memorandum. It was received and signed for by acting public service and administration minister Thulas Nxesi. PSA chief negotiator John Teffo said: "We have reverted to a 10% wage demand since we saw the employer disrespect us." The government has offered a baseline 3%. Teffo warned that an indefinite strike might be imminent should their demands not be met. He said members were prepared to intensify their strike action through measures including border closures and shutting economic activities aligned to public services.
