Violent municipal workers strike is paralysing essential services, Potchefstroom and VentersdorpViolent municipal workers strike is paralysing essential services, Potchefstroom and Ventersdorp
The strike is characterised by intimidation and the vandalism of municipal property, and is even paralysing essential emergency services in the town. In addition, there were attempts to detain members of the public and non-striking officials at the town’s licensing office. Similar incidents of unlawful conduct by municipal officials have been occurring sporadically for quite some time now. It appears that there is an utter lack of morale, work ethics and a basic sense of service among the municipal officials of the JB Marks Municipality.
