Trucking companies said they would not tolerate attacks on their drivers, following the torching of 17 trucks in KwaZulu-Natal at the weekend.
Durban – Trucking companies said on Monday they would not tolerate attacks on their drivers, following the torching of 17 trucks in KwaZulu-Natal at the weekend.
“Our priority is our people, we will not tolerate an attack on our people, meaning our drivers. They are a key asset to this country and have by far the worst kind of living conditions daily on the road, which we have tried very hard to improve,” Hassan said. Local drivers have allegedly been attacking the vehicles and threatening foreign drivers, who they accuse of taking jobs meant for locals. The disgruntled drivers also accuse truck company owners of hiring foreigners over locals.
A database of drivers was also to be established, said Zikalala, which would offer companies a large pool of employees from which to hire.
