The Witness reports that Msunduzi traffic officers shut down the Pietermaritzburg City Hall on Tuesday demanding that the municipal management should respond to their grievances.
At around midday, the group, most of whom were dressed in their uniforms, were still occupying the main foyer where they were staging a mini picket with struggle songs ringing through the City Hall's corridors. Sources at the scene said the group was demanding to see the municipal manager, Madoda Khathide and Mayor Mzimkhulu Thebolla. It had previously been reported that the City's traffic officers had complaints about tools of trade, vacancies and general unfair labour practices in the public safety department. The officers on Tuesday took their demand for tools of trade to the mayor’s office. They said they wanted firearms, radios and transparency in recruitment processes and had previously given the municipality a deadline to deliver on their demands.
