Photo: AFP Civil servants workers protest outside the Natal Spruit Hospital demanding better salary increases in Johannesburg, 18 Aug 2010, after the Unions rejected the government's offer. The South African government says it will not increase its offer to public servants who embarked on a strike Wednesday. Schools were most severely affected on the first day of the strike. Public Services Minister Richard Baloyi says the government's final offer of a 7 percent pay raise plus a monthly housing grant of R700 will cost nearly five billion rand, money it will have to find by cutting other expenditures. "It is not a final position out of choice. It is a final position out of affordability. In fact even this offer is not affordable, because we definitely have to reprioritise. The issues that I talked about there, in no time we will address the nation about how we are going to get this five billion [rand]," said Baloyi. The government will sign the offer on Thursday and, according to regulation, will implement it after 21 days. Even so, unions are adamant they will not settle for anything less than an 8,6 percent pay raise with a housing allowance of R1 000 per month. Delia Robertson | Johannesburg, 18 August 2010
