This is not a trick question so just relax and answer with the first thoughts that cross your mind. “What are the characteristics of a South African strike?” Apart from the toy-toying workers bearing semi-literate signs on pieces of cardboard, what is next aspect which crosses one’s mind: the wanton destruction of property?

Finally the Union accuses management of orchestrating the property damage in order to tarnish the poor unfortunate workers who are being maltreated by management on a daily basis worse than in the Apartheid days.

The Post Office strike bears all the hallmarks of a classic South African strike. This has been borne out by the destruction of 30 Post Offices in Gauteng by members of the CWU – the Communication Workers Union. Naturally the CWU members are blameless in this shameless act.

Unfortunately my parcel from Amazon.co.uk is still awaiting delivery. Viewing these photographs, will I receive it in one piece or will the vandalism extend to the stealing of parcels.

Viva CWU!

Viva the Post Office
