Around 250 employees protested at the Cape Town Civic Centre on Tuesday after downing tools until their demands for better pay and working conditions were met.
The EFF lent its support to the strike, with Cape metro secretary Banzi Dambuza saying that he wanted the workers to be heard and answered.
In an official statement on Monday, the city’s transport mayoral committee member Brett Herron urged “those who have embarked on this strike to use the structures and processes in place to address any grievances or concerns they may have with their employment”. DM
