CAPE TOWN - The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa has found itself in the middle of a wage dispute between a company reportedly contracted to it and some of the company's contract workers.
This was during the time that an intergovernmental project known as Operation Bhekela, was busy relocating families who were living along the railway reserves. Community liaison officer, Nolukhanyo Sombexe, said that the promise to keep them employed until all station refurbishments from Nyanga to Khayelitsha had been completed was not kept.
Sombexe said that this was not the first time that Diphatse Trading and Projects had failed to pay them.
