ANA reports that the Kruger National Park (KNP) has resolved labour disputes that resulted in some workers failing to report for duty at the weekend.  

In a statement on Monday, SA National Parks (SANParks) management indicated:  “Services at two rest camps in the KNP were affected when members of staff failed to report for duty at Letaba and Olifants on Sunday 23 June 2019 due to a labour dispute.”  Management and union shop stewards met until late on Sunday afternoon when it was resolved that workers would return to their posts while their concerns were being addressed.  Reacting to the weekend dispute, the managing executive of the KNP, Glenn Phillips, said:  “We are happy that our colleagues have agreed to return to work and I sincerely apologise to our visitors who were inconvenienced during this time.”  SANParks said visitors who were intending to travel to the KNP for the school holidays were welcome and that there was no need to cancel any bookings as the situation had been resolved.
