BURGERSFORT – The South African Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) members at the Greater Tubatse Municipality (GTM) claim the municipality is continuing in threatening and intimidating the workers not to reveal the alleged shenanigans in the municipal.

The workers returned to their normal duties on Friday August 1, this was after they shunned their work for a period of four days.

According to Samwu chairperson in Tubatse Mr Nelson Mokgotho they had organised an appointment with the municipality’s directors, the acting municipal manager Ms Adelaide Monyepao and the mayor Mr Ralepane Mamekoa on August 4 to discuss the workers’ grievances, but only one director pitched, the acting MM and the mayor were reported to be in a meeting in Pretoria.

Mokgotho said the union cannot discuss the worker’s grievances with only one director and without Monyepao. For this article and more grab a copy of Steelburger/Lydenburg News on Friday August 8.
