The Democratic Alliance in KwaZulu-Natal is calling for law enforcement officers to be deployed at Durban Solid Waste depots across the City following a strike by staff from the Expanded Public Works Programme EPWP.
It is believed that the wildcat strike comes after staff were told their contracts would not be renewed.
The strike has impacted areas across Wentworth, Clairwood, Bluff, Umbilo, Pinetown, Collingwood, Chatsworth, Yellowood Park and Glenwood.
According to a statement by the City, sweeping services are also affected.
'Former EPWP participants resorted to blocking gates at different depots and intimidating staff and refuse collection contractors.
