I've lost count, but I believe we're entering the 7th day of the national
COSATU service delivery strike, which includes both hospital workers. Some of the kids on my street haven't been to school since last Wednesday. It's like a snowmageddon school holiday for them and no one really knows how long it will last. The teachers in the area have been picketing (
toi toi) outside the hospital all week. They're demanding a R1000 increase in housing allowance and an 8.5% pay increase. I think the COSATU logo in the post is crazy looking.
