As waste remains uncollected in some parts of Johannesburg, Pikitup’s casual workers have vowed to intensify their protest throughout the week.
The workers, whose contracts will expire soon, have gathered at different depots in the city demanding permanent employment from the waste collecting entity.
This is the third day that the workers are downing tools.
The casual workers protesting outside depots in parts of the city said they would not be bullied into backing down from the protest.
This after Pikitup deployed public order officers to remove the protesting workers from the depots on Friday.
One of the employees, Enos Maake, said this protest would continue all week.
“We are going to caucus with other depots on how we can best intensify so that we can apply pressure.”
Waste collection has been affected in areas, including Randburg, Midrand, and Roodeport.
