MyCiti bus 'wildcat' strike continues to disrupt routes
16 October 2018
A "wildcat" strike by MyCiti bus drivers appeared to enter its second day on Tuesday as the bus service announced disruptions to several routes around Cape Town.
Around 200 protesting MyCiti employees at the Cape Town Civic centre had on Monday promised to continue with their strike if their demands for better pay and working conditions were not met.
"We are here because we are subjected to unfair labour practices in this structure of the MyCiti project," Patrick Mabindisa, a bus driver and one of the leaders of the protest, said at the time.
"The City is not checking under what conditions we are working. The pressure is enormous," he added.
