Violent NUMSA strike claims its first casualty
6 December 2018
The Democratic Alliance is calling on NUMSA to take responsibility for the loss of life and destruction of property, which has plagued is current industrial action. Other victims of the strike violence have been injured and are on life support, and intimidation is rife.
Industrial areas that have been affected by the violence and intimidation include Isando, Spartan, Jet Park, Sebenza and Wadeville.
During the past three weeks, 10 attacks have taken place in the area, with more than 20 private vehicles torched and several trucks have been petrol bombed.
The police have an obligation and duty to protect life and property and should be enforcing the law and arresting every individual who breaks the law.
