SABC News reported on Tuesday that workers at the Rand Water sanitation plant in Sebokeng in the Vaal had stopped working, alleginging that management had shortchanged them.
“Since last year December, we have been short with our bonuses and leave days because we went on strike.

The Department of Water and Sanitation, as the overall employer, said it was in the process of resolving the matter.
