MBABANE:The Public Sector Unions(PSUs) have collectively rejected a request by Government to delay the release of the highly anticipated salary review report, the Ministry of Public Service wanted a four(4) months extension to allow the Consultant to conclude the review process.

Worth-noting, the four months was expiring in November during the commencement of Incwala ritual ceremony and this means, Government was systematic seeking to delay the salary review at least until the 2026/27 financial year.

But Mbongwa Dlamini, the President of the Swaziland National Association of Teachers(SNAT) told workers outside the Ministry of Public Service on Wednesday that, as PSUs they granted Government only six(6) weeks to conclude the salary review process.

“We granted Government only six weeks not months the four months,” he said.

Eswatini Government workers including security forces, are financially struggling amid the delayed implementation of a salary increase.
