S.Africa: 30,000 truck drivers strike – 9 injured, 29 arrested

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: 30,000 truck drivers strike – 9 injured, 29 arrested

A small group of striking truck drivers gathered at Beyers Naude Square in Johannesburg ahead of a planned march on Wednesday.

The group were watched by a handful of police, in contrast to Tuesday’s strong police presence when protests turned violent.

Roads were not closed and there was no disruption to traffic as strikers prepared for their 11am march to the offices of the bargaining council for the trucking industry in Braamfontein.

On Tuesday, 30 000 truckers embarked on a national strike in all major cities which turned violent in Johannesburg when protesters clashed with police.

Nine people were injured and taken to hospital and 29 truck drivers were arrested.

They would face charges of public violence, damage to property and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

The strikers are demanding an 8,5 percent increase across the board and a nine percent increase for those on the current minimum.

They are also demanding that the night-shift allowance be in line with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.- Sapa
