COSATU Limpopo, 10 March 2015 Limpopo Province public hearing on National Minimum Wage In its 2014 election manifesto, the governing party identified the introduction of a national minimum wage as one of the key mechanisms to reduce income inequality that needs to be investigated. In line with the manifesto, the President stated, in his state of the nation address, that the social partners need to deliberate on wage inequality. He committed the government to the investigation into the national minimum wage identified in the election manifesto as an income inequality reduction mechanism. He informed the nation that the Deputy President will convene the social partners' dialogue within the ambit of NEDLAC to deal, inter alia, with this matter. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 instructs the National Assembly to facilitate public involvement in the legislative and other processes of the Assembly and its committees. In view of the above, the Portfolio Committee on Labour as the relevant parliamentary committee to deal with the matter of the national minimum wage has been conducting public hearings to elicit the views of the public on this contentious matter. The public hearings accommodate the sectors that are mostly affected by the issue of wage inequality. It is therefore on those bases that the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Labour will be conducting a Public Hearing on the National Minimum Wage arranged as follows: . Date: 14 March 2015 . Time: 09h00 . Venue: Kgapane Township Sasko Hall (Greater Letaba Municipality) As the Congress of South African Trade Unions in Limpopo we therefore invite all workers in the province, particularly those in and around Greater Letaba Municipality to attend the Public Hearing in their numbers to give inputs on the National Minimum Wage.
