RNM WORKERS STRIKE: Cogta MEC meets with stakeholders
Rev Thulasizwe Buthelezi says he took a decision to come today because he received a flood of letters from concerned community organisations.
The MEC for Cogta, Rev Thulasizwe Buthelezi, says the absence of Ray Nkonyeni Municipality mayor, Zodwa Mzindle, at a stakeholders’ meeting currently under way at council chambers in Port Shepstone speaks volumes.
Mzindle’s absence is also being questioned by councillors and stakeholders.
Buthelezi says that the reason his department has been quite (about the ongoing workers’ strike) is because the speaker of the municipality, Phumlani Gumbi, wrote to him saying that things are under control.
“I sent a letter to the office of the speaker in November requesting that I come and assist. Gumbi wrote back to me on November 11 stating that there was no need for our assistance because everything was under control.”
Buthelezi says he took a decision to come today because he received a flood of letters from concerned community organisations.
Currently, he is listening to presentations from different stakeholders such as ratepayers associations, South African Municipal Workers’ Union and the tourism sector.
