The SABC are reporting from just before 12:00 that SADTU in Gauteng have decided to accept government's offer & will be back at work starting tomorrow. They apparently accepted the offer on Friday, but wanted time to inform members.

There's an announcement this afternoon on the rest of the public service. Listening to S'Dumo this morning it sounds like leaders are urging workers to accept the current deal, some of the logic being that it could take another 3 weeks at least to get government to move another 0.5%. Weighed against the wages lost in that period unions have decided maybe it's better to take the deal on the table.

Good on them if turns out true, except the bone heads have (petrol) bombed a nurse's home this morning in Soweto.

Proof please? That the bombing is the fault of striking workers is currently speculation afaik

Otherwise good news, the people can once more fill up and drive around in the usual break neck speed fashion :D
 
I don't think giving in to our corruptoment sets a good example. It just enforces the idea that we are powerless against govt that can hold out longer than the people.
 
Great! This just means we are in for another strike this time next year... in which another 20 or 30 people will die.
 
Wait... are we sure this isn't some biased agenda of our media industry reporting on the views of the minority?
 
Latest news is teachers have accepted the deal because they have managed to get government to agree not to dock their salaries for the time they been on strike. This mean the no work no pay rule has been waived in favour of ending the strike. Wily old dogs SADTU are;)

That is the worst decision the Government could make, it means next year they will do exactly the same.
 
Holy crap... :(

If the government don't enforce the no work no pay aspect on this strike we're screwed next year....
 
the Petrol Joggie in Pretoria came to work today, but without uniform, in order to avoid being harassed and beaten up for actually working, jeez this strike is sickening.
