Let's deal with pay issues after WC, says Zuma

He said in an interview on national broadcaster SABC it was not in the African culture to fight while hosting visitors.

"It is our culture, we always respect visitors and when the visitors are gone we can say 'ok let us deal with the matter'," Zuma said when asked about a series of strikes just one month ahead of the start of the World Cup. Workers at state transport utility Transnet will strike for a fourth day on Thursday, paralysing ports and railways to demand higher pay.
