Denel workers paid from attached RMB account
Fourteen current and former Denel employees of have been paid R4.7m from an attached RMB bank account of the state-owned arms manufacturer.
The group had the bank account attached and frozen after Denel failed to comply with a court order to pay their unpaid or partially paid salaries dating back to May 2020.
The Gauteng High Court (Pretoria) granted the order in January.
Denel did not oppose the application and was ordered to pay within 10 days.
Ipeleng Motshegoa, of Ipeleng Motshegoa Attorneys, who represented the group, says amounts paid out ranged from R200 000 to R600 000 and included accumulated interest.
One former employee told Fin24 that she resigned in June last year to access part of her pension money to survive.
Motshegoa said his office has been approached by more former and current Denel employees who are still trying to get paid.
