Vavi takes dig at Zuma's salary
Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi has taken a potshot at President Jacob Zuma's salary as striking civil servants protested outside the gates of Parliament.


Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi took a potshot at President Jacob Zuma's salary as striking civil servants protested outside the gates of Parliament on Tuesday afternoon.

"I asked the President a while ago what he is earning," said Vavi, who was speaking to a crowd of thousands through a microphone on the back of a truck.

"If my memory serves me right he is earning more than R2.2 million," he said to a howl of disapproval from the crowd.

"He has blood like we have blood. He has a big family like we do. He has children to feed like we do. Our needs are the same. We want geld [money]. Ons soek geld [we want money]."
