Fedusa takes aim at SoEs with Section 77 notice

The Federation of Unions of South Africa (Fedusa) is taking a stand against government’s alleged failure to appoint “suitably qualified, accountable, responsible and responsive” management at some of South Africa’s vital parastatals. A Section 77 Protest Action Notice has been lodged with the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) to compel the targeted State-owned enterprises (SoEs) to undergo an independent forensic audit of all board and procurement activities over the past five years and open unhindered access for recognised unions to internal and external audit reports of the past three financial years.
