Strike action resumes at KZN Sharks Board
A workers' strike has returned to the KZN Sharks Board.
A group of employees from the union, SALIPSWU picketed outside the board's offices in Umhlanga today.
Management says the strike was suspended to mourn the loss of the employees who lost their lives in a boat accident in Richards Bay last week.
Meanwhile, the Sharks Board says search teams have not given up their search for Siyabonga Gabela - who's presumed to have drowned - after the he and four colleagues capsized at Newark Beach.
Two people drowned and two crew were rescued.
The KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board's Executive for Business Development, Harry Mbambo says they're saddened that the search for Gabela has not yet yielded any results.
Mbambo says the board remains in continuous contact with Gabela's family. He says staff even join the family on the beach when search efforts are underway.
A memorial service will be held for the employees in the Durban CBD tomorrow.
