I think that Lonmin settling their strike with a rediculously high wage rise was actually a very shrewd business move. It was a foregone conclusion that there would then be strikes almost immediately everywhere else in the mining sector for equally astronomical wage demands which would bring all their competitors to their knees. Very shrewd !!

Strikes where people get killed because they want to do their job are not a strike. It is a terrorist act to intimidate the public. When you stop the food supply and medical supply it becomes a terrorist grip and therein we see the truth. These strikers can justify death so can our convergent. Send in the military shoot to kill. If the strikers/terrorists can take lives and intimidate then the public has the right to protection... It is as simple as that.peace is a state of mind

We need another Marikana!!! Only problem is, then people all over SCREAM bad police force.
I have no problem if these people fight for better wages, but the moment they start, damaging private property, killing and hurting other people, then they have turned them self into criminals. My take then is!! SHOOT THE F@@2ING s#$T out of them, even if it mean they get killed. You want to be barbaric, then expect to be treated like a barbarian.Comment

If I see an idiot throwing a stone at a vehicle then I WILL drive over him.
My little business suffers because those clots throw petrol bombs at trucks. They think that they have the right to destroy a privately owned R1million truck because they want R500 a month more.
We should round them up and giving them 6 lashes per stone throwed. Do it in public so that all can see their asses burn!Comment

So it's OK to drive over them, but you can't shoot them?
Sorry, cheap shot - I know there is a difference between the two. Kinda interesting where you draw the line though.Participation is voluntary.

I guess nobody took what I said seriously (going to reference post #19 for future I told you so moments)
All of you are still stuck in thinking within the "rules" and inside national "bubble"... Progressive thinking is the way to go.
total collapse preparedness.
Has anyone given a thought to how long their "localle" lasts without food/water supplies before SHTF?
OK I'll stop with the negativity. Everyone will hold hands and dig a community well, singing koombaya and helping everyone out. Everyone will share whatever they have and the wise hand of the government will guide everyone to the promise land of plenty. HahhaahahahahhahaComment

We the people “all colours and religions” have the right to live our lives within safety, have the right not to be intimidated and have the right to demand protection against those who wish to do us harm.
These strikers are acting like terrorists... It is time for our Government to show that they will not tolerate terrorism and respond decisively. It is there Responsibility to keep us safe.

This stood out to me...Toyota resolves ‘illegal’ strike at Durban factory
by Alexander Parker, 04 October 2012, 15:15 | 0 Comments
TOYOTA on Thursday resolved a strike at its Durban factory that it had described as "unprocedural and illegal" .
This followed more than a day of talks between representatives of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa), staff and management at the vehicle manufacturing plant.
Toyota spokesman Leo Kok said no details of the agreement were available immediately, but that the union, management and all staff had agreed to the terms.
He said the wildcat strike had cost the company 2,428 vehicles and, given that the plant was running at its full current capacity of 17,300 vehicles a month, including its assembly unit, it would have to catch up through overtime and weekend operations, which would be more expensive.
The reason for the strike was not clear, but it appeared the dispute relate to a R3.22-per-hour premium "some skilled workers" were paid.
The undercurrent in saying this is the presumption to having everyone get paid the same amount no matter what they do. Sort of happened in Soviet Union (but skilled people still got more pay even there). The funny thing with all this "socialism" comparison is that the "race policy" is an extreme anti socialist dogma while the redistribution policy is a bit...
Post Office, retailers deliver under cover of darkness

MANY retailers, along with the South African Post Office, are having to make their deliveries under the cover of darkness for fear of violence by striking workers in the truck and freight industry.
The strike involving about 20,000 drivers and related staff has run for more than a week and a half. Talks to end the industrial action remained deadlocked yesterday.
See the guy whom wrote this article is an idiot now the drivers will be attacked at night when they make deliveries because the strikers can read his article... lol
Eskom and Sasol strike will be interesting since that will knock out all the other industry instantaneously and lead to prosperity and higher wages for all.

Strikers dont strike at night, nor the weekend, i noticed yesterday and today there were no strikers and at 4.30pm they pack up and go home, so driving at night should be ok.Comments are based on opinion...not always facts....that's why people use an alias.Comment

I'm expecting a gift from a friend in Ermelo Mpumalanga, It was supposed to have arrived on Monday 1 October 2012, I've been to the post office here in Lenasia, the administrative employee Isaac told me from Monday to Friday that my parcel is still in Ermelo and hasn't left. I then put it to him, 'But you guys use mostly vans, not trucks,' he put it to me, "no, we use mostly trucks, not vans"http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/lab...durban-factory
