The FF Plus is pleased that today the Constitutional Court ruled in favour of the Transnet pensioners seeing as the matter became a matter of faith for many of the approximately 40 000 impoverished pensioners who are suffering greatly.
The FF Plus wants to thank the independent legal team in particular for their good work, which played a definitive role in today’s positive outcome.
About three weeks ago, I discussed the matter with the Minister of Finance, Mr Pravin Gordhan, and brought to his attention the impact that a ruling against Transnet would have on Transnet as well as the state and now the Constitutional Court has indeed delivered such a ruling.
On the minister’s request I sent a letter to him explaining the matter in detail. On receipt of it, he immediately started to explore the matter.
The FF Plus will now follow up their discussion with Min Gordhan by requesting that he meets with the legal team as soon as possible in order to hopefully negotiate a speedy and fair settlement that will bring pensioners immediate relief.
