On Wednesday, the major roads in Grahamstown were covered in litter by striking municipal workers.

Businesses such as Fruit and Veg City and Gino’s restaurant have employed private companies to come and clean up.

They agree that throwing rubbish around on the streets undermines the rights of the public.

On Wednesday, the major roads in Grahamstown were covered in litter by striking municipal workers.

Businesses such as Fruit and Veg City and Gino’s restaurant have employed private companies to come and clean up.

They agree that throwing rubbish around on the streets undermines the rights of the public.

“We support the workers’ strike, but the way they express themselves undermines the support of the public, it is unacceptable,” said Clint Young the manager at Fruit and Veg City.

Alan Page, a manager at Spur Steak Ranch in High Street agrees with Young and said they have been disposing of their rubbish themselves, but “emptying bins on the streets is not good for the town.”

Jeanette Toni, the manager at Kentucky Fried Chicken on Bathurst Street says that business has been severely affected by this health hazard.

 "Things are not looking good outside our establishment, last night customers had to park in front of Frontier Country Hotel and others left, because there was garbage right in front of the establishment and that affects the business,” she said.

Bathurst, High Street and Beaufort Street were hit the hardest with traffic to and fro on the N2 because Beaufort Street was hampered.

Pepper Grove Mall on the other hand has not been affected.
