The number of Tshwane VIP protectors who are paid more than R1 million a year may double if the South African Municipal Workers Union Samwu gets its way.
Samwu has declared a dispute with the metro over a R35000 monthly allowance that was approved by council in August last year in lieu of overtime, and unilaterally implemented thereafter.
The VIP protectors are members of the Tshwane Metro Police.
