Cape Town - Waste collection in Johannesburg has improved, despite strike action by Pikitup workers entering its third week, reported the SABC on Monday.
Pikitup, which is the City of Johannesburg's waste management company, said it managed to collect 90% of waste.
However, according to the state broadcaster, it added that areas such as Randburg, Avalon and Midrand are still affected.
Workers are demanding daily transport to and from work but a court ruled that the provision of transport was not in the conditions of employment.
The company is reported to have issued suspension letters to 1 600 employees and threatened striking workers with disciplinary action.
Last week, Pikitup spokesperson Desiree Ntshingila asked residents to be patient and to hold back their bins until the go-slow was over.
"It is unclear as to how long the workers will be on a go-slow for, but management is working to resolve the matter with the Pikitup workers," she said at the time.
