SAFTU and COSATU are expected to stage marches and pickets across the country against the economic situation in the country.
So far, taxis are operating normally in and out of the Durban CBD, despite calls for workers to remain at home. Govindsamy says, “So far coming from the N3 to Durban, all the way to Umhlanga, down south to Toti, Pinetown, Chatsworth, Clairewood all is clear. Taxis and busses are operating normally, there are no signs of intimidation or stopping people from going to work. It’s just there’s minimal movement of people going to work, some people are taking this advantage of staying at home due to the strike, but so far all in order.
There are no disruptions in parts of Tshwane. Taxis and busses have continued to transport commuters to work and school and trucks are carrying cargo to various destinations.
