Municipal workers are dissatisfied with the answers they got from Steve Tshwete Local Municipality Management on the demands given to them during a strike in September this year.<\/p>\n
The town holds its breath as the previous strike left the town in disarray, burnt palm trees, overturned dustbins and burning of tyres.<\/p>\n
Strikers will assemble at the Eric Jiyane Hall in Mhluzi on Wednesday 07:00 and then march through the CBD to the town council.<\/p>\n
Their demands include: \u201cstands allocation and housing allowance, restructuring and placement of staff, corruption within the municipality and the high tariffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Observer team will be on the scene.<\/p>\n
