The eThekwini municipality says it has not felt the effect of a strike by about 2 000 metro police officers who started their action on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The SA Municipal Workers\u2019 Union (Samwu) members want metro police head Eugene Bheki Nzama to be redeployed, and human resources manager Monty Naidoo and specialised units head Rajen Chin to be suspended. They want an independent investigation conducted against them, alleging they are guilty of misconduct.<\/p>\n
The union also wants 1 200 temporary workers to be permanently employed by the metro police.<\/p>\n
Municipal manager Michael Sutcliffe said they were monitoring the situation but had not felt the effect of the strike. \u201cWe are monitoring each and every individual police officer to make sure that they do their job. Those who engage in an illegal strike will face disciplinary action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
A senior Samwu member said shop stewards and municipal officials had held a three-hour meeting to discuss workers\u2019 demands on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were told the issue of employing officers permanently would have to wait for the arrival of the new city manager,\u201d the man said, adding that the municipality denied Nzama and Naidoo were guilty of misconduct. – The Mercury<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
