The National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers (NUPSAW) has levelled serious allegations against the North West government, claiming that they are seeking to terminate the contracts of more than 15 000 EPWP workers across the province.
Expanded Public Works Programme workers.
NUPSAW contends that the government’s motive behind this move is to replace these workers with individuals who will vote for them in the upcoming national elections. The workers took to the streets to protest against the impending termination of their contracts. According to NUPSAW, the contracts of the affected workers are set to end in 2024, and the government’s intention to replace them is raising suspicions of political manoeuvring.
NUPSAW’s claims highlight concerns about political interference and the potential misuse of public resources to secure political support.
