# The Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development and Tourism has urged striking Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency employees not to disrupt operations at tourist sites. Workers, demanding permanent contracts, have staged an unprotected strike as their temporary contracts end this month. Police intervention failed to stop disruptions. MEC Makhosazane Masilela says they will meet with National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union to discuss solutions but warns the agency lacks financial resources to extend contracts beyond 31 March.
