The eThekwini Municipality says it expects to fire more employees in connection with the deadly industrial action, led by the South African Municipal Workers Union (Samwu), over the past two weeks.
Additionally, the municipality said it was in the process of suing Samwu for damages incurred since workers affiliated with the union illegally downed tools on 27 February.
On Wednesday, the mayor of eThekwini, Mxolisi Kaunda, said 88 workers had already been dismissed.
