SAMWU to challenge Concourt ruling

GAUTENG – The SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) will approach the constitutional court to challenge The Municipal Systems Amendment Act, signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2022, which bars municipal workers from holding political party positions at branch, regional, provincial or national level. Samwu said that the legislation contravenes clauses in the bill of rights, which state that every citizen is free to participate in a political party’s activities.
