PSA Deputy General Manager Tahir Moepa says: “Unfortunately the strike is going ahead on Thursday and it is something that we really tried our level best to avoid. We don’t believe the country can afford to have SARS embarking on strike action.

Worse off they are cutting benefits that are already there.
