JOHANNESBURG — Government and industry are bracing for the worst industrial action in South African history as private-sector unions prepare to join government workers on strike.
Speaking at his one-room dwelling in Thembisa, a shantytown less than four miles from Johannesburg's wealthiest suburbs, Mr. Magubane accused the government of being out of touch with the poor.
"I have a wife and two children and I get [$125] a month. My transport to work is [$1.25] each way so it would cost me nearly half my wages a month if I rode to work," said Mandla Magubane, a gardener.
