Golden Arrow bus employees who were attacked in Delft while on way to work recovering

Golden Arrow Bus Services said that employees involved in an attack in Delft were in a state of shock, but recovering.

A bus, transporting Golden Arrow employees, was targeted by gunmen on Tuesday morning.

A shot was fired and the driver lost control and crashed into the boundary walls of three houses.

Golden Arrow is in contact with the homeowners about repairing the damage.

The bus company’s Bronwen Dyke-Beyer: “03.35 in the morning, it’s dark and very quiet and we have a charter, which we call a caboose and it’s a bus that goes and picks up all of our employees to get them to work…Four unknown men suddenly appeared in the road and started pelting the bus with stones and then once the driver slowed down to figure out what was going on, a shot was fired.”

Dyke-Beyer said that, fortunately, nobody inside the houses were hurt.

“Absolutely unacceptable that people who are just trying to get to work while most of us are sleeping, are being targeted like this by criminals. We have laid a case with SAPS and we have also asked them to be extra vigilant and they are giving us that assistance but obviously, these perpetrators need to be caught and I think the government needs to send a strong message that working people who are just trying to get to work, need to be able to do so safely and without fear of unknown assailants suddenly popping out and threatening them.”
