Recently Jacob Zuma suggested civil servants shouldn't hold leadership positions in political parties and that the ANC policy of making political deployments in the civil service should be reviewed.
Personally I was cheering (although I don't hold much hope of it actually coming to pass any time soon
). However, SAMWU really doesn't like the idea.
What is SAMWU's problem? To my mind the civil service should have been apolitical in the first place. It's supposed to serve
all citizens, not just the party faithful.
How on earth could this be disastrous for the country - or the working class for that matter?
