The South African Communist
Party in the Western Cape said it is fully behind the strike by MyCiti bus
drivers who are demanding a wage increase.
The drivers embarked on a
strike on Wednesday leaving Atlantis, Du Noon and Table View routes affected.
The drivers are demanding a
wage increase meanwhile the city says the dispute is between the bus drivers
and a private company.
SACP Provincial Spokesperson
Masonwabe Sokoyi said the strike was a last resort, but that it would remain
peaceful and the police response was unnecessary.
Sokoyi said the police mustn’t
chase us like this.
Sokoyi said we’ve done nothing
wrong. We are unarmed, we would never burn anything, and we’re not going to do
any damage.
Sokoyi said things would be
worse when they arrived in Dunoon, because residents would join in the strike
and things would escalate.
“It’s going to be worse there
the community will come and join us. We wanted to keep this away from the
community Sokoyi added.
