Samwu slams unsafe working conditions in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality

# The municipal union Samwu says governance and labour relations in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in the Eastern Cape are deteriorating, leaving workers in unsafe conditions without proper equipment or support. According to the union, ongoing leadership instability, vandalised facilities, and delays in disciplinary cases are disrupting service delivery and violating workers’ rights. Samwu’s regional secretary, Siphokazi Lobishe, criticised the municipality for failing to finalise key structures and job evaluations.
