In this edition, the new NMW takes centre stage follwed by various current issues facing our workers
pay, and the stories of Pepsico workers fighting unfair deductions from their wages.
You can also read about why it is important to build solidarity across the Southern African Region. We interviewed Nandi Vanqa-Mgijima about how CWAO is hosting the Southern African Regional Network (SARN), what SARN does and what it is planning. To illustrate this regional solidarity, Immanuel Abraham tells of his life and struggles as a farmworker and in his community in Namibia.
Government corruption and neglect has a huge impact on the lives of workers and their families. Read about how it affects the community in Ndarhala in the Eastern Cape.
In February CWAO started a community project for children of casual workers offering Maths classes for grade eight pupils. Read about the positive impact it is having.
To reach many workers and to inform them of their rights and to share struggles, CWAO has relaunched its radio show, Buwa Basebetsi. Follow the links on the back page to listen along.
