DA says no minimum wagesDA on minimum wages
If the DA comes to power after the May 29 elections, the national minimum wage of R27.58 an hour, or R4,412 a month, will be phased out. This is one of the proposals the DA has made in its economic policy released last week Friday. This was the party’s first in more than a decade.
What this means is, if the DA win the May 29 elections, the minimum wage will not be increased “any further” and its monetary value will be allowed to be “eroded” by inflation.
