TimesLive reports that ANC staff members have been called out for failing to report for duty daily as per their employment contracts.

In an internal letter, the governing party notes the poor attendance that has come to its attention and staff have to report to the office from Monday and sign the attendance register. “The letter to all ANC staff of December 9 referred, in which we indicated the closing of offices and all staff are required to report physically when offices opened on January 10. “We have since given an exemption to staff who worked on the January 8 [celebrations] and January 5 conference to take off last week,” the letter issued by ANC general manager Febe Potgieter read. Seemingly, staffers have not stuck to the timelines, resulting in the warning to return to work as expected. “Failure to sign the attendance register will be assumed that you have found other employment or as desertion, in line with the ANC personnel policy manual disciplinary code and procedures,” Potgieter warned.
