The South African Municipal Workers Union says they are quite hopeful that government will give in to their new 10-percent wage demand.
They initially wanted an 18-percent raise. The South African Local Government Association is, however, still sticking to its six-point-eight-percent offer.
Samwu spokesperson Tahir Sema says this is unacceptable.
Meanwhile, Samwu chairperson in KwaZulu-Natal John Dlamini has dismissed suggestions that union members were engaged in acts of sabotage during the strike, challenging anyone with such evidence to hand it over to the police.
