The high court in Makhanda this week dismissed Mbalula's application for leave to appeal an order compelling him to implement an action plan to deal with long-distance bus attacks.
CAPE TOWN - Long distance bus company Intercape said it planned to drag Police Minister Bheki Cele to court next in its bid to force government to stop attacks on long-distance buses.
The bus company said it was forced to go to court after it recorded 150 incidents, including shootings, intimidation, assaults and extortion, between January and August last year. CEO Johann Ferreira claimed blood was on Mbalula's hands, after scores of letters and calls pleading for help fell on deaf ears.
