COSATU NW demands alternative accommodation for Warders 19 October 2011 The Congress of South African Trade Union and its affiliate POPCRU has learned with shock about the burning of 50 official quarters at the Mogwase prison. COSATU would like to send a message of sympathy to the staff members who have lost all their belongings. COSATU calls on the community and the business society to assist where they can to help these workers. We also want to thank the Sun City management for assisting with beds for those workers who lost all that belongs to them including IDs, bank cards, clothes and many other important things. COSATU calls on the department of correctional services to provide all the staff members with alternative accommodation until the situation has been restored to normal. COSATU further calls on the department of labour to do an inspection in the area and that all workers must refuse to stay in an unsafe place; all workers who are affected must be taken for counselling by a qualified person. We are also calling the management of the correctional service to stop its attitude against workers by forcing workers to stay in unsafe places. The safety of our members and their lives come first. For more information feel free to call COSATU NW Provincial secretary Solly Phetoe [0823044055]
