Over 300 Sentech workers affiliated to the Communication Workers Union have been on strike since Saturday for better wages. 

Sentech Spokesperson Sithembele Senti said about 20% of the company’s workforce is on strike. 

Senti added that they are concerned about the impact the strike might have on customers and stakeholders. On Monday Sentech management offered CWU a revised offer which they have taken back to their members.

He added that in the regions where our network has got national footprint we have almost about 90% of staff attendance who are not participating in the industrial action

"We have put emergency plans in place even if the 399 employers were to go on strike. We have assured all our customers in respect of maintaining the current service levels of availability of our network, up to Saturday on commencement of the strike until today we have not experienced any disturbances on the network" Senti added.
