South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that all remaining striking employees at the Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage Site in Limpopo returned to work on March 20.
The strike, which began in February with approximately 360 staff members, has affected both the Kruger and Mapungubwe National Parks.
“SANParks stresses its commitment to resolving this issue without further delay, emphasising that negotiations will only happen within the established Bargaining Forum,” said Reynold Thakhuli SANParks Media Liaison and General Manager of Stakeholder Relations.
Thakhuli reiterated that whilst SANParks respects and acknowledges the right of association for all its employees, it will not tolerate the unlawful acts of violence, and intimidation of non-striking members and tourists committed by some of the strikers.
Only 14 employees in the Kruger National Park have returned to work so far.
