Roads and regions that will be affected in Gauteng during National Shutdown

Bheki Ntshalintshali, the general secretary of COSATU, has encouraged workers in all sectors of the South African economy to participate in this week’s Cosatu national strike on Wednesday, August 24.

We examine the highways, locations, and areas of the Western Cape that will be impacted by the impending prospect of a national shutdown on Wednesday.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) has provided information on the strike’s timings and assembly locations.

COSATU posted a series of photographs on Twitter detailing the meeting locations for people taking part in the nationwide strike. On August 24, 2022, everyone is supposed to gather at 9:00.

The participants will assemble in Burgers Park in Van der Walt street in Tshwane at 09:00 on Wednesday.

“Starting Point will be at Burgers Park (Lilian Ngoyi Str /Vander Walt). They will turn right on Madiba Str /Vermeulen and head straight to Union Building where they will hand over the memorandum to the President.”

The countrywide strike on August 24 is in protest of load shedding, increasing gasoline prices, and living expenses.

The continuing load shedding, rising gasoline costs, and rising food prices are the causes of the nationwide strike,

a message from Cosatu said.

Cosatu organized a nationwide strike in October of last year due to similar issues.

The federation also organized a march earlier this month in Cape Town to protest the price of public transportation.
