Social Development employees embark on strike
Employees of the social development office in Beyers Naude Street went on strike this week. On Tuesday, a part of the road was blocked causing traffic congestion.
The entrance to the offices were closed, with a smouldering tyre placed before the gate.
National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) members embarked on an indefinite strike following collapsed talks with their employer.
