The South African Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu) threatened that Monday’s Transnet workers’ strike could go on for another three days if the union did not get a ”decent” response from the parastatal. Satawu president Ezrom Mabyama said: ”We will make sure no one is left in the workplace.”
