The South African Municipal Workers’ Union has announced that its members will embark on rolling mass strike action from the 13th of next month, less than a week before the local government elections.
The union says factors that have contributed to the industrial action are corruption and nepotism within local government.
Samwu spokesperson Tahir Sema says it is unlikely that the strike will be called off.
Meanwhile the union has called on its members to stop trashing Johannesburg’s streets.
Yeoville residents say workers of the garbage collection company Pikitup went on the rampage in the neighbourhood.
The union has called on the public to report any such behaviour, which it describes as unacceptable.
