The total cost of damage to infrastructure as a result of the illegal protest by eThekwini municipal workers exceeds R3.5m, KwaZulu-Natal premier Willies Mchunu has revealed.

Mchunu said the protests had affected international guests who had been in the city for the annual Tourism Indaba, Africa's biggest tourism event which showcases the continent as a good place for business and leisure tourism.

He said the origin of the crisis stemmed from a decision by the municipality to advertise 60 grade 10-level posts.

Don’t worry, taxpayers will pay for the scumbags damage

And Malvern still has no water cause the stickers closed all the valves, that's great stuff Mr. Premier

They should pay for those costs

That's nothing (not peanuts because they're valuable to the other species) compared to what has been squandered.

Like we expect the those implicated in Corruption to be arrested so must the Leaders and those who instructs them to INFRASTRUCTURE DESTRUCTION PROTESTS to be arrested as well

Illegal strikers should be replaced...where do we send CVs

Awungekhe nxa ufuna okulungile wenze okubi

So will the costs be deducted from their wages? Don't get your hopes up.

In the real world every action must have a reaction, economic terrorists must be held accountable!

BUSINESS MAVERICK: The Shoprite/Wiese deal: Is there a plan B?It’s quite a standoff. The Shoprite board has recommended that its founder and chairman Christo Wiese should be paid R3.3bn for the high-voting shares that were part of his founding stake. Some shareholders don’t like it and it will only take 15% of them to jettison the deal. Does Wiese have any other options? There is one obvious one — he could sell the shares to an outsider. But will he?
