nelsonmandelabayHeraldLive reports that a Nelson Mandela Bay municipal official was killed on Sunday in a shootout in Motherwell between robbers and a security escort assigned to protect refuse collection staff.  A suspect was also shot dead.  Detectives will be investigating whether the incident was linked to the ongoing feud between the municipality and refuse collectors over lunch and tea breaks, or if it was a robbery.  The attack comes after municipal management applied to the Labour Court last week for an interdict against the refuse workers, who are reportedly on a go-slow.
