Do you think that strike action is still the
South Africans are used to being affected by
strikes of various kinds. According to Wikipe-
dia a strike is defined as: “Strike action, also
called labor strike, labour strike, or simply
strike, is a work stoppage, caused by the
mass refusal of employees to work. A strike
usually takes place in response to employee
grievances. Strikes became common during
the Industrial Revolution, when mass labor
became important in factories and mines”.
It is important to note that there is a differ-
ence between a strike and a protest. Peo-
ple often refer to a protest by communities
as a strike. There is however a difference,
although the general picketing and accompa-
nying songs and handover of a memorandum
are often similar. To stage a legal protest,
leaders of groups or communities should also
follow a process to obtain permission.
In South Africa employees may go on a pro-
tected strike after a series of procedural re-
quirements. The South African Labour Guide
says: “The term “protected” strike action re-
fers to a lawful strike which is in compliance
with the requirements of the Labour Relations
Act 1995 (“LRA”). The effect of embarking on
protected strike action is that no employee
may be dismissed by reason of their partic-
ipation in the strike, nor do they commit a
breach of their contracts of employment by
participating in protected strike action”.
However, people on a ‘protected strike’ will
not be paid by the employer. This means
no work, no pay. In a time where the South
African economy is struggling and South
Africans feel the pinch of the increased petrol
price and accompanying increase in prices
of food and other consumer products, can
a strike still be afforded? Is the outcomes of
strikes worth the loss of income during the
period of ‘no work, no pay’?
In our area strikes are prevalent. Trade
unions often represent workers in negotia-
tions with employers and in general workers
adhere to what these unions decide they
should do in terms of issues like a strike. In
2014 government through the Government
Communications (GCIS) Unit’s Vuk’uzen-
zele publication said: “Strikes that continue
for a long time have a negative impact on
the economy and do not benefit anyone…
There are no winners in prolonged strikes.
They hurt both employers and employees the
same - employers lose income while trade
unions or employees lose wages, which is
hard to recover after a prolonged industrial
action. Strikes also have a negative impact

on government’s efforts to create jobs”.
Platinum Gazette asked readers if they think
that in the current economic environment
strike action is still the best way to deal with
labour issues or should an alternative be
found to deal with it? They also gave their
thoughts around strike action and its impact.
Mr Philemon Ngwato said: “Striking is not the
solution. Only negotiations will make things
happen. People must work and earn money
while there is negotiations. Our government
must also not give empty promises where
they are involved”.
Ms Suzan Shabangu said: “The unions must
solve problems through other ways than by a
strike. For us to lose our salaries is not good.
They must negotiate better”.
Right: Mr Lazarus Kgoloko said: “Communi-
cation is key to resolve the issues. Striking is
definitely a no-no for me. With a strike there
is always damage and things are not solved
as quick as they should be. With communica-
tion involving all stakeholders we will be able
to resolve issues without damaging property
or hurting the economy. With the blockage of
roads companies like mines suffer and that
can lead to the closing of mines because of
loss of income, loss of property and some-
times even killing of innocent people”.
Gugu is originally from KwaZulu-Natal where
she studied and started her career. Apart
from being a fully qualified professional beau-

nician. She has worked at various places and
eventually spend 6 years with La Vita Spas
in different areas. Her friendly professional
approach saw her work her way up within
the group and she eventually moved from
Magalies Park to Gethlane Lodge outside
Burgersfort.
It was here that she met Suzette Gelden-
huys, a local businesswoman with a heart
to empower young people with potential.
Suzette introduced Gugu to Dr Lorna Ma-
phuthuma and today these two women are
Gugu’s mentors. “They are my ‘mothers’.
They believed in me and it is with their
help that I am here today” says Gugu.
Gugu left the corporate group spa to start
her own business. She is now running her
own business, Serentity Movement Spa
from within Dr Lorna’s medical practice.
Despite her slender build, she knows just
the pressure points to make your massage
not only relaxing, but also a health tonic.
“People often forget that having things like
massages are not only to relax. It helps
with improving blood flow through the body
and applying pressure in the right areas

explains. Her hot stone massages are one
of the most popular services.
8 MARCH 2019
Mr Tim Phiri, CEO of the TimPhiri Group
said: “The community need to be organized
and get educated on how to get heard during
a protest. People need to organize them-
selves in structures that can negotiate (with
government and employers). If a community
starts to protest or workers go on strike and
they block the roads etc. it impacts negatively
on us. I have a small business and took all
my pension money to start it. I need to make
target to pay my employees and to pay ex-
penses. Where people try to serve their own
interest it benefits nobody. You need to also
have fair demands when going on strike. Part
of the problem is that in certain areas there is
so much junk in the system. There are many
people who cannot properly do their jobs.
Many of us are affected by strikes but have
nothing to do with the problems these people
have. The reality is also that not everybody
will be able to get jobs at the mines, people
should also look at other career paths”.
Promotion
Since she was in school Gugu wanted to
help make people look and feel pretty. Apart
from the massages, she offers a full range of
beauty therapy services like facials, pedi-
cures, manicures, tinting, scrubs, make-up
for special occasions and waxing. Gugu’s
soft touch and experience with waxing
among other things has seen her clientbase
grow rapidly. “People often think waxing is
painful, but I’ve had people fall asleep while
doing a wax”.
Gugu has flexible working hours and ap-
pointments can be made for weekends or
afterhours. She is also doing mobile appoint-
ments. “I’ve had clients who hosted a party
and would like the ladies to get pampered.
The package depends on what they want
done and groups get discount. I also have
clients whose husbands are working and
they don’t have transport, by appointment I
visit them to do the treatments in the comfort
of their home”. All of these appointments
must however be made and confirmed within
office hours.
Gugu caters to the needs of the customers
and offers special packages for couples,
weddings and special occasions.
