Overview
- Marches in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban on the International Day for Decent Work spotlighted unemployment, wage erosion, outsourcing and rising living costs.
- Unions handed memoranda to provincial and municipal offices, with KwaZulu-Natal MEC Mntomuhle Khawula accepting one on behalf of the premier.
- In Gauteng, protesters demanded action on tender corruption and stronger whistleblower protection at Tembisa Hospital, with the memorandum also urging a break in ties with Israel.
- In Durban, unions called for immediate payment of outstanding UIF and pension funds, enforcement of the national minimum wage, and safer worker transport.
- In Cape Town, marchers pressed for relief from water and electricity tariffs, and the City confirmed it received the memorandum and would address it.
