Five foreign truck drivers were arrested in Durban on Thursday morning during a law enforcement operation aimed at ensuring compliance in the freight industry.
The operation, which the KwaZulu-Natal government said would be the first of many, was scheduled to be held at three sites around the city, including Maydon Wharf, which is used daily by trucks to access the port.
Premier Sihle Zikalala said five drivers had been arrested for not being in possession of proper documentation and he expected the number to increase. “These foreign nationals are supposed to be driving with permits and all required documents. In most cases you find that most of them are driving without these documents,” he said.
“We don't believe SA companies that are based here should prioritise people from outside SA. That's why we call on the minister of labour to expedite the policy.”
