"CELE WARNS STRIKING TRUCK DRIVERS"

The KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison Mr Bheki Cele issued a stern warning to truck drivers not to block the road while on strike or they will face harsh measures of their trucks being impounded.

This follows a blockade on Warrick Avenue, corner of Williams and Lancer Street in Durban central, whereby a number of trucks blocked the road today. MEC Bheki Cele said-"the Road Traffic Inspectorate together with the SAPS, SANDF and the Metro Police will not tolerate unruly truck drivers, therefore they will ensure that they impound all the trucks that are blocking the road and will also arrest truck drivers who are intimidating other truck drivers who are not on strike"
