On reading again,I suspect the strikers will not recoup their lost wages directly.
However, the payment of 15,000 rand (about £800) tax free next Friday must be roughly equivalent to 2 weeks wages, in or around. So they won't lose in the short term, but will have to wait 6 months to gain anything significant, and that presumably is contingent on no more fireworks.
It's a cute arrangement. Let's hope it is enough for ongoing goodwill, not just compliance.
