The Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa says staff of the corporation would be paid their salaries for the month of January on Friday (January 24, 2020).
The troubled state-owned nuclear corporation has faced numerous financial and operational challenges, including the recent resignation of its remaining former board members, and the possibility of salaries not being paid on time.
Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe announced the appointment of a new board on Tuesday, which was roundly welcomed by various industry members, unions and Members of Parliament.
NECSA on Monday said that it was working with the department to ensure salaries would be paid for January.
Spokesperson Nikelwa Tengimfene has told South Africa -based Fin24 that the corporation would be able to pay its staff salaries on Friday and that it was on track to make the necessary payments for employee benefits thereafter.
“Salaries will be paid during the month. Nothing has changed since Monday. But salaries will be paid on time as committed to by the company.
“You pay service providers related to the service that they offer at a different time than you pay salaries. Those payments are only due later in the month and earlier in the following month,” Tengimfene said.
