People complain when they get shot with rubber bullets but did they think that their actions will not have consequences? If you put yourself in harms way then you expect to be treated accordingly. I believe that this is the only way of dealing with unruly behavior so everyone knows where they stand. There are certain countries in the world where you know you just don't cause trouble. I just wish the other countries would pay attention as this is how it should be.
This is a dangerous game by giving into an industry that will hold you to ransom. The taxi industry is tax exempt here as well so they have enough breaks financially already. This leads on to the next strikes that will happen as they will be similar after seeing the government caving in to their demands.

Another highway blocked in Durban today. Stopping others from working is violating peoples rights and the softly softly approach never works. They should seize every vehicle and confiscate it for the crusher. No warnings and the message will get out very quickly.
July the 7th we will see the trucking industry striking and they are the one industry that has basically been working throughout. This is all about greed and certain Unions trying to show their strength. This strike is all about the trucking industry fighting against the companies employing foreign drivers. Told you this is just starting and this could get ugly. Actually that is wrong as it well get ugly. This is aimed at targeting foreigners who are working and is racial against not race, but nationality. How can you discriminate like this as it is not the drivers fault he is Malawian or Mozambican.
The only lucky thing right now is the Army is still helping police the lock down and they will be called upon at some point.
