Labour Minister calls for end to strike violence

Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlana reiterated on Tuesday that employers and the striking workers in the security industry were the only ones capable of bringing the ongoing violent dispute to an amicable end. Mdladlana’s comments follow fresh accusations by Satawu that he was favouring employers. Mdlalana added that Satawu leaders had to show leadership and stop their members from assaulting non-striking workers and destroying property. Speaking from Cairo, Egypt, where he is attending an African Union summit, Mdladlana said both parties, and not himself, held the key to an amicable solution. Satawu is planning major demonstrations in several big cities on Wednesday.
