KwaDukuza municipal strike leaves stink in the air
KwaDukuza Municipality says the ongoing strike action by municipal workers has disrupted refuse removal and street cleaning services.
On Monday, the South African Municipal Workers' Union-affiliated workers marched to the municipal offices in Ballito over unpaid overtime, job grading disputes, and delayed evaluations.
They are accusing the municipality of breaking promises made during negotiations.
In a statement, the KwaDukuza Municipality says some strikers dumped refuse onto the streets in the CBD, creating unhygienic conditions.
It has condemned the actions as irresponsible and a threat to public health.
