ZASAMWU workers, affiliated with the City of Johannesburg, protested outside the ANC's Luthuli House headquarters, demanding clarity on the implementation of a R10.3 billion Politically Facilitated Agreement (PFA). The PFA, originally proposed in 2016, was recently included in the city's adjustment budget. The Democratic Alliance (DA) challenged the agreement in court, claiming it was a political maneuver to settle scores, but the Johannesburg High Court rejected the challenge, allowing the PFA to proceed.

SAMWU's regional secretary, Thobani Nkosi, stated that the union had met with the ANC to address concerns about the PFA, emphasizing that the gathering was a formal meeting rather than a protest.
