Two people have been wounded after police used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse protesting Transnet workers at the company's depot in Bloemfontein. TransnetStrike

The striking workers were protesting at the depot of the rail transport company in Bloemfontein. They have described as provocative the action of the police who were trying to stop the workers from blockading the N8.The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union and The United National Transport Union have rejected Transnet’s revised wage offer of between 4.5% and 5%.Angry workers have threatened to open a case against the police for provoking them.

“We view this and as Satawu as we speak. there are two many members that have been injured..we are going to open a case and we need further steps to be taken. because we are here peacefully, singing harming no one but now to ourselves we said that now this is really provoking. you can’t shoot this thing. because in our oldest time when were toyi-toying in the locations these things would be used only if there was violence.

Good Morning and welcome to Kasene City Deep Transnet Depot in Johannesburg. This is where the strike action over wages by Untu and Satawu members is in full swing
