Tshwane commuters urged to make alternative arrangements as bus strike continues
For a third day in a row, bus commuters in Tshwane will need to make alternative transport arrangements, as the city can’t say when operations would resume.
Bus services were suspended since Tuesday after drivers affiliated with the South African Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) failed to show up for work.
Workers, who refuse to label the stay-away a strike, said they were unhappy about overtime payments and salary increases.
The city, meanwhile, said it was yet to receive a formal complaint from its employees.
It said the drivers would soon be addressed, as it was illegal to abandon their posts.
“The strike has affected a customer base which gets services from 160 buses on weekdays,” said spokesperson Lindela Mashego.
“Therefore, commuters are again urged to seek alternative transport arrangements.”
