Demonstrating waste and sanitation workers feel betrayed by the metro.
While councillors were attending the June council meeting in the Germiston Council Chambers, on Thursday, casual workers from the waste and sanitation department demonstrated outside.
The EMPD was on site, but the demonstration was peaceful, with members singing songs and carrying posters with messages to the mayor and councillors of the metro.
Protesters demanded that Ekurhuleni’s executive mayor, Clr Mondli Gungubele, address them and explain why they have not received the permanent positions promised to them.
According to a member who spoke to a GCN journalist, the demonstrating members were promised permanent jobs in March, last year, as well as an increase in their monthly salaries of R1 800, but are still waiting.
The mayor has not yet responded to the demands made by the protesters.
