Workers' union distances itself from UniZulu torching

Nine vehicles were set on fire on Sunday, a few days after a storeroom was torched at the institution. 

The weeks-long worker protests have been over wages, temporary workers, and outsourcing. 

The union's Hlanganisani Jamile says a new offer has been tabled, but workers will remain on strike until a decision is reached.

"University management promised to take our proposals to the university council for consideration. So as a matter of now we are still seated and waiting for council to respond to our demands," he said. 

Meanwhile, the UniZulu is holding a stakeholder engagement session today.
