# Municipal union Samwu says the South African Local Government Association in Gauteng is trying to intimidate municipal workers ahead of its national day of action tomorrow. The union claims a circular discouraging workers from taking part in the protest was not authorised by SALGA’s national office. Samwu’s Dumisane Magagula says the march in Tshwane will go ahead as planned, with workers protesting against austerity measures and the National Treasury’s interference in local government.
