Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa recently briefed the National Assembly on the progress of introduction of the national minimum wage: “We are waiting for a report from a panel of advisors.
This panel will give their report before the end of November where after the Committee of Principals (COP) of NEDLAC would able to get together to discuss the report and to finally agree on a national minimum wage which will be implemented as time goes on.”
He added that the deliberations on labour stability were also nearing completion. “A meeting of the COP on 22 October found common ground on most of the areas negotiated by the task team.”
