The strike by Transnet workers belonging to the trade union Satawu is set to continue tomorrow, although those members belonging to the Utatu union returned to work yesterday.
Satawu has threatened to ask other trade unions to come out in sympathy with their strike for a 15 percent pay rise.
Newsflash News Agency reports that Utatu members have accepted Transnet’s offer of 11percent.
The strike has had a hugely negative affect on freight rail, port and pipeline operations nationwide.
Meanwhile trade union federation Cosatu has called on the ANC to immediately sell its 75 percent stake in the Maloma Colliery in Swaziland.
Cosatu says in a statement that the ANC’s investment arm, Chancellor House Holdings, should sell the investment in order to join the international campaign to expose and isolate the dictatorship.
Spokesperson Bongani Masuku says a report in a Swaziland newspaper states that the buying of the stake in Maloma Colliery had been endorsed by the Swaziland government.
