The Citizen reports that Ugu district municipal workers in KwaZulu-Natal downed tools and went on strike over pension issues on Thursday.
As a result, many in Marburg, Oslo Beach, Shelly Beach and Manaba on the South Coast have been left with dry taps, the South Coast Herald reported. Workers belonging to the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) are demanding to be paid their pension fund contributions, as promised by Mayor Tolomane Myayiza at a meeting held on Wednesday. Ugu is allegedly cutting ties with Sanlam due, it says, to Sanlam overcharging them for two years. During the strike, Ugu management has tried to negotiate with the union, but workers have demanded that negotiations should take place in front of them.
