Government faces backlash over termination of CWP workers

The South African government is facing significant backlash following the termination of workers under the Community Work Programme (CWP).

This decision has sparked protests and condemnation from opposition parties, labor unions, and civil society groups, who argue that the terminations exacerbate unemployment and poverty. Critics claim the move reflects poor planning and a lack of empathy for the vulnerable communities the program was meant to support. The government has responded by stating that the program is under review to ensure its sustainability and effectiveness, but this has done little to quell the growing discontent among affected workers and their advocates.
