KZN DOT SAYS ZERO TOLERANCE AS USUAL - NO STRIKE

The Department of Transport wishes to assure the public that there will be no strike as has been reported in some media.

The Head of Transport Department in KZN, Dr Kwazi Mbanjwa, has received confirmation from two unions, with a combined membership of 97% percent of all unionised workers in the department, that they have no intention to strike.

It has to be put on record that the National Public Service Workers Union (NPSWU) is not recognised within the department as it has a membership of less than 3 percent.

"Last week, I went on a road show addressing traffic officers across the province. In these sessions officers were afforded an opportunity to ask questions on any concerns which they may have had. All officers were happy and satisfied about the visit."

"In terms of the three posts that are being contested, everything has been done within the public service regulations and there is nothing untoward to this."

"It is disappointing that nothing that I said to the journalist was printed in the news report. This after spending 30 minutes on the phone speaking to the writer of the story."
