Rand Water, which supplies water to Mogale City, released information about the outcome of its urgent interdict application regarding the proposed strike action by the South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) on Wednesday, 21 April.

The Labour Court in Johannesburg has ruled that SAMWU should withdraw its notice of strike action, pending the outcome of the conciliation proceedings at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) scheduled for Wednesday, 28 April 2021.

“Rand Water has sound relations with its employee-affiliated unions, based on the concept of good labour-management relations being fundamental to good corporate management. We remain committed to engaging with the Union to reach a resolution. In line with our mandate, our bulk potable water service to our customers remained uninterrupted,” Justice Mohale, Rand Water Media Relations Manager explained.
