Deon Macpherson vows to end unfair treatment and bribery in EPWP
Macpherson made this promise during an EPWP listening tour at the Disaster Management Centre in Johannesburg on Friday.
During the discussion with the community, Macpherson heard how municipal officials were allegedly abusing their roles in the programme through nepotism, bribery and misuse of funds.
Macpherson said the programme was aimed at creating work opportunities for those most affected by poverty and excluded from participating in the formal economy because of age.
'It is important that we are able to give people opportunities to employment and to better their lives with skills', he said.

Maitland and Bellville refugees rally against eviction

Image: Ayanda Ndamane/Independent Newspapers Refugees living at the Wingfield tent in Maitland and Paint City in Bellville have joined hands, accusing Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, Minister of Public Works Dean Macpherson, and Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber, of renewing a wave of state-backed Afrophobis and xenophobia as they plan to evict them. In a statement issued to the media at the weekend, the refugees said plans to evict them were against their human rights, while they continued to live in squalor. They said they intended on hosting a public meeting on Sunday afternoon. The Cape Argus approached the City for their response, to which they said they would stick to the statement issued on June 18, announcing the plans for eviction. Macpherson's office said it was for the City to communicate on the matter while Schreiber's office did not respond to queries at the time of going to print. The refugees are being supported by organisations such as Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia, Khulumani Support Group, Save Our Sacred Lands, Housing Assembly, and the African Legal Students Association. 'Refugees residing at the Wingfield refugee tent and Paint City are facing a renewed wave of state-backed Afrophobia and brutality,' they said. 'We, the undersigned civil society organisations, activists, and community members, denounce these acts as part of a broader neoliberal war on the poor and displaced. Just three days after the DA Ministers' announcement, a 12-metre section of the Wingfield refugee tent was slashed during the night exposing families to winter weather. 'No one knows who did it or why, but we know this much: the act came after dangerous political rhetoric. These forced evictions are not isolated. They are part of a broader attack on the poor. Refugees may be the first targets, but South African residents of Gate 7, who also face landlessness, unemployment, and economic exclusion - will be next." They said the refugees were predominantly from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kensington ward councillor, Cheslyn Steenberg, said he would continue to advocate for their plight for consultation of decisions. "I take note of the comments that was made by the occupants of the tent and their representatives."

Picture: Gallo Images/Brenton Geach The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) has been allocated R9.08 billion for the 2025/26 financial year, representing just 0.35% of the national budget. This is a decrease of R121.5 million compared to last year. Delivering his Budget Vote speech in Parliament on Friday, Minister Dion George highlighted the financial squeeze. 'When adjusted for inflation, this reflects a real decrease of R121.5 million, or 1.4%, compared to last year. In short, the department is being asked to do more, with less,' he said. Funding priorities despite cuts Nearly half of the department's medium-term budget, R14.5 billion, will be directed toward goods and services. This includes the Expanded Public Works Programme, the Forestry Master Plan, and the Waste Management Strategy. An additional R5.5 billion will go to public entities such as the South African National Biodiversity Institute (Sanbi), South African National Parks (SANParks), iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority, and the South African Weather Service (Saws). 'This department is using every rand to protect ecosystems, grow green jobs, and meet the urgent demands of climate adaptation, regulation, and environmental justice,' George said.

Negotiations between striking municipal workers and the City of uMhlathuze remain deadlocked, with no agreements yet reached. This as the striking workers, affiliated to the South African Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) met with municipal leadership on Friday as per their deadline issued after Tuesday's march to the civic centre. ALSO READ: City of uMhlathuze puts temporary measures in place to address waste collection delays Included in the list of grievances were unfair labour practices, citing 'persistent unfair dismissals and a pattern of victimisation against union-affiliated employees; misuse of ratepayers' funds, opposing the use of private attorneys for internal disciplinary matters; gross negligence in workplace safety; noncompliance with employment equity and disability inclusion; exploitation of EPWP employees; lack of danger allowance; inadequate tools of trade, demanding provision of functional computers and a roadworthy fleet; and racism within Electricity and Energy Services, citing an urgent need to address racial inequity, specifically the rehiring of white retired employees as temporary staff'. Discussions are expected to continue with the municipality on Sunday, and on Monday the union has scheduled a general meeting with its members at Ngwelezane Hall to provide feedback and for members to take a decision going forward – to suspend or proceed with the strike.
