The Star reports that the African National Congress (ANC) in Johannesburg has asked its deployees in the city to take urgent action in the two-month long Metrobus strike.
The party’s spokesperson in the region, Sasa Manganye, said the City of Johannesburg’s mayor had been roped in to act in respect of the matter and he would be releasing a media statement by the end of the week. “We know that there are developments on the situation,” said Manganye. He advised that the ANC would not meet the Democratic Municipal Workers Union of SA, which was responsible for the strike, because it was not a recognised union in the city. Apparently employees affiliated to the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) have been reporting to work, but have been unable to drive the buses because of intimidation from striking workers. Metrobus has reportedly lost hundreds of thousands of rand in revenue because of the industrial action.
