Johannesburg – Experts are divided on whether a proposed minimum wage is a positive development for South Africa's economy.
On Sunday, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the proposal of a National Minimum Wage of R3 500 at a press briefing at the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) offices.
This is R20 per hour. Various social partners, including unions, government and business, will deliberate on the findings of the NMW report which was compiled by a panel of experts.
