Johannesburgs Trash Collection Crisis: Samwu Protests Delay Waste Services
The South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) is protesting over a ten billion rand wage deal with the city council, causing trash collection delays in Johannesburg through the weekend. The union demands official confirmation of the agreement made before Novembers G20 Summit. Protests have led to disruptions in waste services, exacerbating an existing backlog from closed landfills. The city council warns the deal was rushed without budget checks, potentially slashing funds for roads, upkeep, and safety. Extra trucks are rerouting to open landfills, but delays persist as the legal fight heats up and services remain unstable.
