# Municipal workers union SAMWU has condemned the ongoing salary delays in municipalities. The union blamed National Treasury for inadequate funding and neglect of rural communities. Municipal workers in areas like Mamusa in North West and Kopanong in the Free State have reportedly gone for months without pay, while essential services suffer. SAMWU is now demanding emergency funding to cover unpaid salaries. They also call for a moratorium on debt and legal action against municipalities violating labour contracts.
