The SABC's management and unions met on Friday to discuss salary increases, the broadcaster said.

"Management believes that there has been progress which resulted in all parties agreeing to report back to their constituencies on Monday," spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said in a statement.

"Until then, we are not in a position to divulge the issues that are placed on the table."

The dispute between the public broadcaster and unions has been simmering for the past few weeks.

The Communication Workers Union and the Media Workers Association of SA went to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration when the SABC revised a 12.2 percent pay offer it was supposed to have implemented in April, to 8.5 percent.
