Note to Editors: Please find attached a soundbite by Cilliers Brink.
Today members of the South Africa Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) embarked on an illegal strike to actively sabotage and disrupt operations in Tshwane.
SAMWU has DA indicated that they were protesting over the fact that the City isn't implementing wage increases from the bargaining council collective agreement for workers.
In doing so they intimidated non-striking Tshwane staff and prevented them from entering their offices. They dumped waste on the streets, damaged water meters, blocked roads, opened fire hydrants and significantly disrupted traffic in the Inner City.
