I was under the impression that, if a strike turned violent or if intimidation began, the strike immediately became unlawful.

What makes me angry is the 'no arrests' for everything. The vrot cops must get out of the coffee shops and DO THEIR JOBS

I miss Bheki Cele in times like these. He must come back to the same position during whoever will be president in the next term.

sabza: I agree. Normal strike activity according to the rules of collective bargaining is perfectly acceptable, but setting out with the deliberate intention of crippling the national economy is outright treason and should be treated as such.

MommaC: And when arrested, their mates just besiege management until they are released. Unreal.

Candi: Hmmm, summary firing is problematic, but after so much violence and irrational thuggery perhaps the only way to deal with the situation. Fire the lot, and then rehire those who prove reliable. The problem, of course, is that any dissent is met with d e a t h.

they can find a bunch of soccer hooligans within a week but they cannot find a single rioter who burns a vehicle in the middle of rush-hour? Someone needs to start riding (literal) shotgun and give as good as they get

Ja Masoga - your sympathy is too late - when your members strike you are responsible ant must exercise control - its too late SATAWU must be held accountable for this loss of life and massive damage to property. Maybe then they will start making sure their protest actions don't get out of hand.

@sabza007, ag no man Bheki Cele is a thug, we don't need him, there are many other people who can do the job of chief of police much better if they are appointed, the problem is that JZ only wants cronies in top positions.

MommaC: Ja I know. They find a guy who shoots a councillor within hours AND actually have him in court and sentenced the next day, but murderers, rapists and thugs..... take forever.

Never any arrests, the army isn't brought in like promised, and the government leaders are deafening in their silence.
