A representative of protesting MyCiTi bus employees says they are ready to “fight until the last drop of blood”.
“I won’t mind dying for my children’s future, because at the end of the day the business was meant to help people and now it’s not happening. That is what we are fighting for and then we will fight until the last drop of blood,” said Thandikhaya Chizama.
Chaos broke out at the Cape Town Civic Centre yesterday as police fired stun grenades to disperse about 200 employees who embarked on an illegal strike in October.
Chizama said they were angry as their demands were not being accepted by the employer.
Workers demand to be employed by the municipality and not vehicle operating companies.
