City of Johannesburg manager Floyd Brink has warned of harsh consequences for those who were involved in the Pikitup strike.
Workers at various depots downed tools last week, calling for permanent employment.
They also levelled allegations of dodgy dealings against the entity.
At a media briefing on Wednesday, Brink outlined recovery plans to get waste off the streets. He also called for an independent investigator to be appointed to probe the corruption allegations.
Brink said there would be consequences for those who engaged in intimidation, blocked depot gates, and disrupted services, adding that this was to deter those that undermine the city’s rules.
“We must assure that where necessary and where illegal acts have been committed in the furtherance of this particular strike, we will be taking action against those officials and appropriate consequence management will be implemented.”
Pikitup managing director, Bukelwa Njingolo, said the company had engaged various entities contracted to it to assist with trucks that clean the City of Johannesburg to help with the backlog.
