Word on the streets is that a person in Tekwane was killed and his shack burned down, for he wanted to go back to work. I'm working in Photsaneng, and many people are scared, but they want to go back to work. Crime is rising. In Luka people sit without electricity because the cables was stolen. Job losses is irreversible, damage already has been done. Retrenchment is happening all over Rustenburg. Other companies cut the staff salaries with 50%. 83 Business closed that we know of. 300 car's taken back by banks in one week. People are selling their possessions to put food on the table. a Person commited suicide because this is to much. How long can we last. Rustenburg is in a disaster zone. Please AMCU, this strike is doing more harm than good.
