DispatchLive reports that Minister of Water and Sanitation, Nomvula Mokonyane will be intervening to try and resolve the illegal strike by 360 workers at Amatola Water.
The unionists decided over the weekend to suspend their strike pending the outcome of talks. Bulk drinking water supply to half-a million people in a vast area in the eastern Cape has been under strain after SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) members abandoned their posts at 11 treatment plants last Friday. Samwu is demanding the sacking of board chairwoman Nokulunga Mnqeta. The strike is believed to have been sparked by a letter from Mnqeta’s attorney in which she threatened to sue Samwu Amatola regional chairman Victor Totolo for defamation.
