The on-going public sector strike has affected a lot of sectors of our economy.  The eNaTIS environment was not spared this fate, although it seems limited to a short period of time.

The effect of the strike was for a short period of time 

The effect of the strike can be seen when one analyses the transaction statistics for user transactions, which
excludes the transactions done through system interfaces.  The public sector strike started in earnest on Wednesday 13 June 2007.  Prior to the commencement of the strike, the average number of user transactions per week day for the period 1 June to 12 June 2007 was 371,000.  During the first three days of the strike, from 13 to 15 June 2007, the average number of user transactions declined to 322,000 per week day.

However, it seems that the eNaTIS activity was largely back to normal by Monday 18 June 2007.  From Monday 18 June to Wednesday 20 June an average of 396,000 user transactionsper day were performed.  The highest number of user transactions for the month of June was performed on Wednesday 20 June 2007 with a total of 406,754
