The MEC of Finance and Tourism in the Western Cape, Lynne Brown, would like
to welcome the announcement by Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlana. On Workers
Day, 1 May 2007 he announced that the hospitality industry would soon have a
minimum wage â including double pay for Sunday work.
MEC Brown says: "I welcome this move, very aptly announced on workers day,
as part of our continued journey towards equality for all South Africans. More
specifically, as MEC of Tourism, I see this as another way of improving the
quality of service in an industry which grows bigger as its service gets
better."
