Striking workers say MK veterans are getting special treatment.
“Grade 10 is only for qualified employees while Grade 4 is for those that don’t have matric. We don’t understand, why would an MK veteran without a matric be promoted to a level of a qualified person?” said Mchunu.
“We are not against the promotion of MK veterans but we must be all be promoted. We all came here to work because we all need money, therefore no one should be treated specially just because he or she went into exile,” said a protester who asked not to be named.At the beginning of last week municipal employees threatened to down tools if the matter was not addressed in a few days.
They did so, protesting last Thursday in the municipal offices in Pinetown, west of Durban, and Springfield, north of Durban. They blockaded the entrances of the offices with water tankers and prevented people from entering.Provincial uMkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association spokesperson Themba Mavundla said: “The municipality has done nothing wrong because MK veterans deserve special treatment for liberating this country.
