Yesterday, Judge Virgil Vergeer, who stood in for Judge Tapiwa Marumo announced that judgement will be delivered on October 15, 2015. About two weeks ago Marumo reserved judgement for yesterday after the two parties argued their case.

BURS workers went on strike last month demanding salary adjustments. Processes at the revenue agency have since slowed down, with negotiations yet to yield a solution.

During that time, the union representing striking workers, accused BURS of intimidating its members and dragged them to the Industrial Court on urgency, arguing that BURS management was intimidating striking workers by sending out letters with demands.

The letters have since been suspended through an interdict until the finalisation of the case.
