The SA Municipal Workers Union aims to shut down the Johannesburg central business district when it holds a march on Wednesday next week.

Mashaba resigned from the DA and as mayor in October. He will vacate office on November 27. Nkosi said they were being sent from pillar to post with regard to the“The city has never responded to our demands for the release of subscription fees ... It has been playing hide and seek, with no response to our demands.”and the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union in August, as part of a “divide-and-rule strategy”.
“As a united Samwu we reiterate our initial position that the MoU is not recognised by us as members.”
