IOL reports that there was a disruption to services at the Johannesburg Water's Ennerdale Depot after employees downed tools after two vehicles were hijacked in the past week.
The incidents happened while employees were on duty in Ennerdale in the south of Johannesburg. This led to staff members embarking on a sit-in strike after citing safety and security concerns relating to the hijackings. The utility said that the situation would compromise service delivery as the depot would not be fully operational. Consequently, Joburg Water indicated that logged calls for issues such as burst pipes and leaking water meters would take longer to attend to. It said the matter would be handled and addressed accordingly as it had been escalated to the executive management team for review. Joburg Water added that counselling services would be arranged for the affected employees.
