ANA reports that two Tshwane deputy city managers participated in a heated meeting with members of the EFF and the #OutsourcingMustFall movement on Thursday after scores of contracted workers blocked off the city’s Isivuno head office, demanding permanent jobs.
The workers alleged that Tshwane mayoral spokesman Blessing Manale had repeatedly lied to them and insisted that he must be called to the heated meeting. But deputy manager Ndivho Lukhwareni turned down the request. The parties later agreed to reconvene in two weeks. After the meeting, Lukhwareni told reporters that the contracted workers were trying to strong-arm the municipality into hiring them. He explained that he felt that the negotiators were pressuring him to make a commitment on the employment of the workers, without giving him and his colleague, Frans Boshielo, space to consult.
