The strike involving has resulted in the disruption of water supply in some areas, and the blockading of critical roads.
The African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal said on Wednesday it was gravely concerned about the ongoing labour dispute in eThekwini Municipality which has inconvenienced residents and visitors over the past few days.
The workers, the majority from the Durban solid waste unit, used dump trucks to block the N3 heading into Durban and dumped waste in key intersections in the CBD. Rubber bullets and stun grenades were fired at striking workers while at least 10 people were arrested. The ANC said in a statement that while it acknowledges the grievances raised by workers and affirms their right to voice their concerns, there was no justification for lawlessness.
