16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children
25 November 2014
The African National Congress calls on all South Africans to rally behind the campaign of 16 days of activism against violence on women and children. We believe that this annual campaign which was initiated by government has managed to galvanize and mobilize South Africans to take a stand against the scourge of violence which victimized and traumatized helpless members of society.
The ANC calls on male members of society to form a critical part of this campaign to ensure that we promote responsible behavior that observes the destructive nature of violence. Our ability to eradicate this scourge will assist in healing the scars of violence and the use of to address problems. We call on ANC structures and its allies to lead in promoting non violent behavior within all our communities.
We also take this opportunity to call on our law enforcement agencies to demonstrate zero tolerance for gender based violence including that of children. Our communities must not be quiet or turn a blind eye on the perpetrators of such violence. Let us expose and isolate individuals behind this despicable acts. Let us work towards safer and protected communities!

The minimum wage for domestic workers
25 November 2014
The African National Congress welcomes the decision of the Minister of Labour to upwardly adjust the salaries of domestic workers within the framework of national minimum wage and in respect of the new minimum wage. This decision that comes into effect as from December 2014 is a milestone in demonstrating the commitment of the ANC government to improve the quality of life of lowly paid workers. The challenge facing low income workers is the pressure of coping with the ever increasing cost of living.
This major advance in the sectoral minimum wage will go a long way in addressing exploitation of workers by those employing them. This major decision must be sustained in all sectors of the labour to assist in closing the gap between those in the top bracket and those in the lowest level of earners.
