The government will unilaterally implement its 7% wage offer to public servants, the Ministry of Public Service and Administration announced on Thursday.
"We urge the unions to change their position... otherwise government will be left with no choice but to implement the offer," said spokesperson Dumisani Nkwamba.
The department issued a statement to say that the wage offer had been signed.
"The acting director-general for the Department of Public Service and Administration, Mr Kenny Govender today [Thursday] signed off the draft wage offer for implementation on behalf of government.
"This has come after drawn out and intense negotiations in the Public Sector Coordinating Bargaining Council (PSCBC).
"The offer, according to the regulations of the PSCBC, will be on the table for a period of 21 days in which labour can make a decision to sign and failing which will be implementable."
