The Solidarity trade union has blasted the South African government and the management of State-owned defence industrial group Denel over their mishandling of the affairs of the company, causing it to be in so bad a condition as to be unable to pay its employees their full salaries. In May, some Denel workers had received only 20% of their salaries. Denel had also been unable to pay employees’ income tax and other statutory deductions to third parties since April. Further, it had indicated to the union that staff salaries for June and July were also at risk and had proposed that its workers should give up part of their salaries for June, July and August. In consequence, Solidarity was taking Denel to the Labour Court, with the hearing scheduled for June 30.
