Durban taps dry as water, sanitation workers vow to extend strike

In a statement a week ago, city manager Sipho Nzuza said the workers were demanding to be elevated to the same grade 10 salary level they claimed the Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association members were receiving.

Nzuza said:"The city is of the view that all human resource processes were followed to the letter. There are internal HR processes that our employees know need to be followed in the event they feel there is a need to be re-graded." "There has been intimidation in the Pinetown and Kloof areas and we now have people sitting without water for at least six to seven days."
