The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa has been granted a certificate to strike by the CCMA, after it deadlocked with employers of the Bombela Operating Company (BOC) which manages the Gautrain.

Unfortunately, parties were still unable to find one another due to the arrogance of the Bombela Operating Company (BOC) management which has resulted in a certificate to strike being issued.
