The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s beefed-up security measures paid off today as municipal buildings were secured and clinics that planned to remain open during the strike period, did and continued to deliver services today.
This morning approximately 90% of staff reported for duty and a striking member of the South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu) was arrested for malicious damage to property after a municipal truck was stoned in the vicinity of the Lillian Diedericks Building.
The South African Police Services reacted speedily to cases of intimidation reported to the Strike Management Centre and as a result almost 90 cases were reported ranging from intimidation (80 cases), to one assault and to five cases of malicious injury to property.
Residents are reminded that payment of municipal accounts can be made at any branch of Standard Bank, the Post Office, via IVR (Pay-by-phone) and via internet banking, once payment is made, customer are encouraged to fax proof of payment to 041 506 1442 or 041 506 1304.
If a customer’s supply is disconnected they must use the above alternative ways to pay all arrears reflected on their statement and fax the receipt to 041 506 1442 for reconnection.
