In an interview with Adom News, some family members, who were at mortuary to transport their relatives to Kokobeng for funeral rites, pleaded with the government to intervene for the workers to resume work.

“We thought the strike was going to affect those who were bringing their corpse in so we also made all the preparations towards the funeral only for us to come and hear this news,” they complained.
