Refuse collection to resume in Ray Nkonyeni
Ratepayers in Ray Nkonyeni Municipality, on the south coast, say they're relieved to see the end of a long-running municipal strike.
Disgruntled workers downed tools for more than three months over job grading processes.
The work stoppage led to the disruption of refuse collection and electricity supply services.

"Thankfully sanity has prevailed and they have reached an agreement. I have spoken to the HODs of the refuse collection and they said from Monday they will start refuse collection. We have been personally collecting refuse since November. Every two weeks we hire two trucks, and we would collect,” said Salahudin Musa from the Albersville Ratepayers Association.
