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

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."

The municipality didn't respond to queries. Meanwhile‚ several suburbs have gone without water for almost a week."We have had several areas that have been deliberately sabotaged. We have had subtle instances of sabotage where repairs were done a few days ago and the workers just didn’t bother to turn the valves back on."

"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." De Boer said if the city management did not resolve the issue‚ there was a possibility that there would be no water or electricity on election day."I don’t understand why we are not using our police force and‚ if need be‚ why are we not using the military to safeguard public infrastructure?

"It's absurd that people can go around and simply turn off a vital resource like water. I would almost say it's treason. We need a whole lot more action. I don’t think the strike is going to be resolved any time soon and‚ in the interim‚ emergency services must do their job‚" De Boer said.
