MATSAPHA: Mduduzi Colani Shongwe, the Secretary General (SG) of the Association of Lecturers, Academic and Administrative Personnel (ALAAP) says, on Wednesday during their Extraordinary Meeting, members resolved that if they don’t receive their salaries by midnight they will not report for duty on Thursday morning.

Dr Selebona Simelane, the Registrar of the University of Eswatini (UNESWA) had not responded at the time of compiling this report. 

Speaking to this Swaziland News after their meeting, Shongwe said, they will not have means to make it to work on Thursday as they no-longer have bus fares and petrol money hence their decision to wait for the in-contact while sitting at home.

“We met Management and they promised to pay today or tomorrow at the latest.We are still waiting for that and we will then take it from there. Otherwise, ALAAP members resolved that if they dont get paid today, they will not be able to have means to make it to work tomorrow because they no longer have bus fares and petrol money. We are not on strike, it is just the reality on the ground. We are prioritizing the little we have so our children can go to school. But we hope the employer will do the right thing this afternoon," said the ALAAP Secretary General.
