Premier Modise’s Spokesperson Lesiba
Kgwele said she wishes to express her disappointment that acts of violence have
emerged amid allegations of intimidation of non-striking workers, barricading
of some routes and pelting of motorists with stones. She wishes to appeal to
striking AMCU members to respect the rights of other citizens, their freedom of
movement and their properties.

that while workers’ right to strike is protected by the constitution, the rule
of law has to be upheld and peace maintained to ensure protection of life,
property and the advancement of the rights of all.
