SABC News reports that residents of Giyani in Limpopo say protest action by members of the SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) is having a negative impact on them.
This comes after nearly 350 Samwu members downed tools in protest against what they say is corruption and maladministration in the municipality. The union has accused the municipal authorities of irregularly awarding tenders and nepotism. Residents say the refuse that is piling up at their yards is a health hazard. "It’s really congesting our place, it’s really dirty, its dirty everywhere we cannot manage to live in a place like this because the air pollution it’s really uncomfortable… It's affecting us because our CBD it's very dirty so it better for them to come back to work and leave the strike," a resident said.
