Municipal workers in Tshwane have downed tools and instead taken to the city's streets for a protest march.
They say service delivery has taken a backseat due to poor governance and council's postponement of sittings.

Uncertainty hit Tshwane after Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa resigned last week amid a tender-linked scandal and claims of an office romance.
"Today's action which was prompted by declaring the things that are happening in the city, the collapse in governance, the failing of the council to sit and execute its mandate," said Muthavhi
"It is has got a severe impact on how service delivery should be executed in the city. If you look at the past three, four months, there's always being the council not sitting and collapsing because people want power from each other," he added.
