Cape Town EPWP workers go weeks without pay as City investigates delays

Thirty-four participants in the City of Cape Town’s EPWP Swimming Pools Project in Manenberg and Wynberg have gone more than a month without pay. Employed through the City’s Recreation and Parks Department, the workers say the delays have made it difficult to cover basic expenses. One Manenberg worker, who found a job last month after four years of unemployment, says she has worked without pay and believes the problem lies at the City’s head office rather than with her supervisors.
