Transnet Takes Action Against Nqura Strikers

By

On 14 July 2019 Transnet SOC Ltd advised all stakeholders that they had obtained a court interdict to stop the illegal strike action by employees at the Ngqura Container Terminal.

The interdict orders workers to increase performance levels at the port, which has been the subject of a ‘go-slow’ strike action over the past two weeks and was issued to all operational employees employed at the Nqura Container Terminal situated within the Coega Development Zone, Port Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela Bay.

Employees disrupted operation svia malicious radio interference resulting in management suspending eleven employees.

Mike Fanuchi, Chief Customer Officer, said; “We are working around the clock to find solutions, including prioritising cargo. We are also continuing to refine our contingency plans in order to minimise the impact to the economy.”

Nqura is not the only container terminal affected by the strike action – reports from Durban and Cape Town say that the rate of operations there are now also improving after experiencing a similar ‘go-slow’ strike action.
