Labour Court orders TUT to address racial salary discrepancies | IOL News

Johannesburg - One of the country’s universities has been criticised by a Labour Court judge for failing to mend apartheid’s scars after paying some of its white staff better than their black colleagues. The Tshwane University of Technology must now retrospectively increase the salaries of professional nurses Paul Maraba, Lydia Khwinana and Matilda Legwale to April 2011.

Mabaso also ordered TUT to pay Maraba and Khwinana, who are no longer in its employ, retrospectively increased salaries dating back to April 2011 to the date of the termination of their employment with the institution.“The respondent has not presented a valid justifiable ground for such discrimination, therefore its conduct failed to mend the scars of apartheid in respect of professional nurse practitioners,” he found.
