Double digit wage demand 'not affordable'─── 15:20 Mon, 04 May 2015
Pretoria - Economists say government cannot afford public servants' double digit wage increase demand.
Public sector unions are demanding a 10 percent hike while government is offering 5.8 percent. The parties have been in talks for seven months now.
The state has said the demand is unaffordable due to the already skyrocketing salary bill.
Chief Economist at the Efficient Group, Dawie Roodt says state finances are already dire.
