South Africans are waiting anxiously on news whether the civil servants strike will come to an end tomorrow.

Business leaders and the general public are hoping for a speedy end to the strike.

The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) rejected governments latest wage offer because of incomplete information.

Nehawu spokesperson Sizwe Pamla says the miscommunication can be blamed on the fact that they only gave themselves one day to consult with members on government’s revised offer.

Union leaders meet with union members to explain the finer points to their members over the weekend.

The public will find out tomorrow if the strike will come to an end tomorrow.
