The angry workers went on a rampage and barricaded the municipal's gates with burning tyres and other objects after allegedly not receiving their February salaries.

Traffic flow has also been disrupted in the CBD after the workers barricaded streets with refuse.

Municipal spokesperson, Stan Gaba, tells OFM News they are still investigating the grievances surrounding the strike. He added that the municipality is unaware of the reasons behind this strike.

According to Vaal police spokesperson, Gertrude Mokhale, they have deployed police officials to the scene and will continue monitoring the situation.

She concluded by saying there is no damage to property reported and no arrests have been made.
