Interdict granted against striking Wimpy Pretoriuskop staff members


When striking staff members prevented customers from entering the Wimpy at Pretoriuskop in the Kruger National Park and after exhausting several other solutions, the only option left to management at Famous Brands was to apply for an interdict.

SKUKUZA – An interdict was granted against staff striking at the Wimpy in Pretoriuskop in the Kruger National Park on Friday after an application was made for the interdict on Thursday.
Eighteen members of the staff, who are members of the Food and Allied Workers’ Union (FAWU), declared a strike against the franchisee on Thursday. The staff members are currently in negotiations about renumeration with the owner of the franchise in the Kruger National Park (KNP).
Ms Monna Bennett, managing executive of Wimpy, who is part of the franchising group Famous Brands, said to Lowvelder that the interdict was necessary because staff members were preventing customers from entering the premises.
“After the interdict was obtained, staff members were sent home. It was all dealt with in a peaceful way. It is the strikers’ legal right to picket but not to ask our customers to leave or prevent them from entering,” said Ms.
She explained that senior managers from Famous Brands are currently in the Lowveld to manage the problem at Wimpy Pretoriuskop. According to her the restaurant was packed this morning . The staff number and menu is reduced but the restaurant is operational.
“Our apologies to any of our customers in Kruger who have been inconvenienced. Negotiations are ongoing. We hope to solve the problem soon.”

From the SanParks FB page - Saturday 17 February
⚠️Social Media Alert ⚠️
Kruger National Park: Employees of Cattle Baron restaurant in Skukuza have, as from this morning (17 February 2024), embarked on a peaceful industrial action due to an unresolved dispute between them and their employer.
According to the KNP Managing Executive, Oscar Mthimkhulu, services might be affected as the food and beverage takeaway shop is currenty closed. The main restaurant is operational, with only buffet meals available. As KNP Management, we have been in discussion with Cattle Baron management and have been assured that contingency plans are in place to adequately deal with the situation.
Mthimkhulu would like to apologise to guests who might have already been affected by this strike this morning. There are no demonstrations at the moment, however as a precautionary measure, the SAPS together with Protection Services personnel have been deployed to ensure there is order at all times.
Media enquiries either:
Ike Phaahla - Contact 0836736974 or isaac.phaahla@sanparks.org or
Rey Thakhuli - Contact 0733734999 or rey.thakhuli@sanparks.org
