The Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that service station forecourt workers could be the main victims of their own strike. 

Workers are demanding a double digit increase while employers are only offering seven percent. 

Cape Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Viola Manuel said the strike will make a mark with the average consumer and business owner, far more that the previous strikes in the motor industry.

“What does drive home is the facts that business organisations, across the country need to stand up as one and speak out against behaviour, should it occur,” added Manuel.
