Numsa members demand protection from police

The police are continuing to monitor Numsa strikes in and around Boksburg.

Scores of Numsa members marched to the Boksburg North Police Station on October 15 to submit a memorandum of grievances.

Seen by the Advertiser, the memorandum states that they are appealing to the police to speedily solve cases they have opened at the police station after they were allegedly intimidated and violated by local security companies.
It further states that because it is their constitutional right to protest, they want the police to stop members of security companies from intervening during their wage strike.

Members of Numsa are also calling for the police to work hand in hand with their committees and marshals in ensuring that their members are safe.
The memorandum was received by the Boksburg North SAPS acting station commander, Lt-Col Kwena Meso, and acting Vispol commander Capt Sibusiso Radebe.

According to Boksburg North police spokesperson Const Justice Ramaube, the police have been given five days to respond.
Numsa rolled out its national strike in the metal and engineering sector on October 5 over wage dispute.
