ActionSA hits out against a R16 million fleet procurement scandal

 ActionSA has hit out at Gauteng MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Jacob Mamabolo for allegedly shielding Emfuleni Local Municipality over a R16 million fleet procurement scandal. The party says the municipality paid for 17 cars but received only six, with one later vanishing, yet provided no proper answers on investigations or recovery of the funds. ActionSA  is accusing the MEC of allegedly accepting a copied-and-pasted response from the municipal manager that simply cited "internal processes" instead of opening a criminal case as required by law. Elvis Presslin spoke to Action SA's Gauteng Caucus Leader, Funzi Ngobeni to elaborate further about their concerns and Emfuleni Local Municipality spokesperson, Makhosonke Sangweni

FEDUSA and COSATU are pushing back against a 9.5% increase in GEMS contributions, calling it unaffordable for public servants. Labour unions say the hike deepens financial strain amid a cost-of-living crisis. GEMS has proceeded with the increase despite union objections. FEDUSA says the issue reflects a broader national concern about the affordability of healthcare, as many South Africans are increasingly forced to downgrade or abandon medical cover altogether. Elvis Presslin spoke to Joseph Mashigo, FEDUSA Chief Negotiator at the Public Service Co-ordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC)
