Municipal negotiators have made meaningful progress towards reaching a collective agreement for the 2021 Salary and Wage negotiations at the SA Local Government Bargaining Council, paving the way for the formulation of a framework for a proposed agreement between the Parties. This week the Parties have agreed to extend the negotiations beyond the final round to allow the designated Facilitator of the negotiations to formulate a detailed proposal to cover all the areas that are a subject matter of negotiations.
Mayor Dan Plato said the emphasis was placed on ensuring that the budget would not further cause economic hardship amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, and that through extensive expenditure cuts, rates and tariff increases were kept to a minimum.

Durban - As South African political parties prepare for the fifth local government elections in October, the South African Local Government Association will hold the Salga National Members Association (NMA) on Thursday to assess preparations before the election.
With President Cyril Ramaphosa having announced the election date for Wednesday, October 27, 2021, Salga, political parties and the Electoral Commission have a little over five months to prepare for the country’s fifth elections for local government in which public representatives are elected for metropolitan, district and local municipal level.
Salga spokesperson Sivuyile Mbambato said that the NMA would run from Thursday through to Friday. Deputy President David Mabuza is scheduled to deliver the keynote address while Cogta Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma will be among the key participants at the assembly.
