Johannesburg Mayor Amos Masondo has been called by the South African Municipal Workers Union, to intervene the Metrobus strike.

The strike has been going on for the past week, bus drivers are striking because of longer shifts that were implemented last December.

Negotiations last week came to a deadlock with no agreement being made.

SAMWU spokesperson Dumisani Langa said, “There is a strong likelihood that it will be chaotic in Johannesburg unless there is an intervention somewhere. This issue is a political issue as soon as it affects the members of the public.”
