The municipality says there's currently a work stoppage - which it says is illegal.

The municipality's Sipho Mkhize says this has also seen waste not being collected at business premises.


"As it stands, management will be meeting with affected workers as well as labour representatives to discuss how these workers return to their work stations while some of these discussions are then taken to proper channels and portfolios of council to discuss them further."
