Small Dog Burnt alive by striking NUMSA Workers

Striking members of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) caused havoc on the third day of their nationwide strike Thursday.

About 150 protesters clad in NUMSA red vandalised several factories in the Booysens area of Johannesburg, as well as vehicles parked around them.

They were armed with knobkierries, tree branches, sticks and hammers.

The protesters tried to set alight a building, but the owners quickly put out the fire. However, a dog was engulfed by the flames and burnt to death.

Similar incidents took place in Benoni and Germiston.

I am really upset by this type of thing. Just crazy that these people work and live in our communities and get away with this.

Sucks

Why? How do you justify this insane behavior? Burn down the factory and then where do you work when the strike is over?

Barbarians!!!

Why are union bosses not held accountable for this as well as intimidation, violence etc... (td)

agree Gregbucks

It is a Total Disgrace what goes on and how they get away with it...makes a person ill in the stomach to see such behaviour going on and nothing will be done about it.

And just as infuriarating will be that if ever these savages are caught the whole incident would be deemed to be 'alleged'.........and to think they have the vote just like I do !!!!!

Monkey do like monkey see! <

Noordhoek Ice, I am not sure what you mean but the finger smiley in this instance is not what I think is appropriate! Absolute savages!(td):X

The strongest reason why things like this happens so often in SA is the public's correct perception that most times nothing gets done about it.Its only after a public outcry that the SAPS will scamper to collect long gone evidence etc etc etc
