'Residents are suffering': Inside the protracted violent Tshwane salary increase 'strike'

It's been seven weeks of sporadic violence and service delivery interruptions in Tshwane, allegedly at the hands of City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality employees fighting for salary increases.

As the unofficial strike continues and intensifies, residents of the capital have had to deal with stalled refuse collection, water outages, blackouts that are out of the load-shedding schedule and interrupted bus services.

Joey Phahladira of Block VV in Soshanguve told News24 that they went without water for three weeks in July when the strike began.
