The grievances and demands stipulated in their memorandum include the following:
• Advertised traffic officer’s positions of which only 10 were allocated for this region
• They demand the 10 internship learner‘s residential addresses to be confirmed
• A total of 25 more positions to be made available
• Management to address the community.
• An equal number of learners to be allocated per sub-district
