Who is going to pay for the burned Trucks? Union I guess, they must be charged for damaging properties and murder, some people were killed, by them. we want to see justice, we can not allow lawlessness in SA. People must learn to negotiate, not with violence

Is it true that ANC has stopped SABC from airing a programme where Prince Mashele was criticising zuma? do we have media freedom in SA or we just like zimbabwe?

Fat loosers are employers in both production and their vehicles too but i'm not proud of that what I like that taught them good lesson.

Only the loyal scambags to their employers(whites) who pay them peanuts will be sitting at home if the trucks are not repalced.

Like what I said earlier in my blog this morning , I was starting to get used to this truck strike , the anxiety of not getting cast at an ATM , and running out off petrol in the middle of no where because the last ultra city 300kms away you did not get petrol, this was now exciting to me , now that the strikes are over , life is going back to normal and start boring, please just let the strike continue for another month please , just for the enjoyment of it

@ Katakata you know what umlungu knows who are the troublemakers and will be retrench. White man is wise and altyd maak n plan. Did you watch CuttingEdge yesterday. A portoguese woman colonised a Nkosi family home right in Daveyton, then run away. If you think colonization is over, wait for the next ten years to see.

RobinH- Trucks are insured, goods are insured, union bosses are smiling all the way to the bank. Loser here is the widow of the dead driver, and his children. I hope the govt make the union pay compensation to the widow and the children

Sadly enough...to them it's just all collateral damage - that's just how insignificant a life has become.

So was 2% really worth murdering a man and putting others in hospital?

This is just going to be passed on the the consumer and their salary increase will go straight back to their bosses the next time they stop at the tills. Actually, they will be paying more than that as their foolishness will have pushed up the insurance premiums too so they'll be paying the insurance companies - oh the irony

At last, but I still want to hear from my comrades (SATAWU), I can't trust the capitalists. I did not witness any fuel shortage where I am, filled the tank every 2 days. I saw a lot of trucks on the road, amagundwane on duty. Shame to those who lost their trucks and the dude who lost his life.

When things are still bad, people blame Zuma.

When things are now fine, nobody is talking about him. Interesting...

It is interesting that the deal was reached just hours uMsholozi has condemned the strikers...

At long last! thuggery is over! Now it's time to mop up the mess left by the damn strikers. Some family in Cape Town will mourn their member for years to come. All this for a meagre increase that will not even buy them decent pair of underwear!!!Nxa!!!!!
