Workers shut down essential services on Tuesday demanding an explanation for promotions favouring allegedly only struggle veterans.
DURBAN - Police patrolled streets in the Durban CBD on Thursday evening after municipal workers attempted another sit-in at City Hall.The continuation of the strike contradicted MEC for economic development Sihle Zikalala’s assertions that a solution had been reached.
Durban City manager Sipho Nzuza said a solution would be reached by Thursday, and Zikalala, who is also African National Congress chairperson, said the mediation team appointed by premier Senzo Mchunu had made a breakthrough.The Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre, which hosted international guests at Indaba, had the heaviest police presence, and delegates said they had chosen to stay in their hotel rooms as they feared for their safety.
