The South African Federation of Trade Unions, SAFTU has rejected a three-and-a-half percent salary increase for public office-bearers, calling the decision indefensible. General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi says the hike is a slap in the face for over thirteen million unemployed South Africans battling a severe cost of living crisis. SAFTU says it supports the separate 4% increase for judges, but is calling for the political increase to be reversed. Elvis Presslin spoke to Zwelinzima Vavi
