Ithala workers vow to intensify protest action
KwaZulu-Natal workers say they are going to intensify their protest action outside the offices of their employer, the Ithala Development Finance Corporation.
The group wants the institution to address allegations of maladministration and nepotism.
The workers, who belong to union Nehawu, have promised to continue demonstrating outside its Durban offices.
The union's Prince Mthalana said they have given Ithala and KZN Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs 14 days to respond.

"Most of those properties, now they have no occupants, which denies the organisation, the revenue it needs to sustain itself."
