No strike – Municipal employees gathered to “honour heroes”

The scores of municipal employees gathered behind the civic centre are simply there to honour former “heroes.”

The event, themed “Remembering our Heroes,” include a memorial for late municipal electrician Tshepo Maseko who was shot and killed during the recent spate of municipal strikes.

Other heroes that will be commemorated include Harris Sithole, Siyabonga Thabang and Sarel Vilakazi.
