Undertakers on strike shut down funeral homes in Cape Town

  • 4 years ago
Funeral undertakers protested in Cape Town demanding government institute reforms in their industry on Wednesday (September 16).

Protesters were filmed outside the offices of AVBOB and Tony Wyllie & Co in the city's Maitland suburb.

The action is part of a three-day national shutdown, which started on Monday by the Unification Task Team (UTT).

Kenny McDillon of Deo Gloria Funeral Services said: "Black funeral undertakers have to compete against large established funeral undertakers who had a forty-year head start."
