Samwu strike condemned by Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille

Lusanda Bill

Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille has strongly condemned yesterday’s reckless behaviour by striking municipal workers.

Protestors became violent, looting and starting fires.

Street vendors’ stalls were also overturned. De Lille says this undermines the principle of labour organisation and the dignity of many members of the workforce.

The city will be claiming damages from Samwu.
