The Cliffdale area on the N3 highway between Pietermaritzburg and Durban was blocked today by a group of truck drivers.
Minister of Transport Blade Nzimande on Monday condemned the blockade of the Cliffdale area on the N3 highway between Pietermaritzburg and Durban by a group of truck drivers.
“It is disingenuous for some truck drivers to block the road or engage in any protest while there are current engagements between government and the foundations.”In January 2019, the department met with leadership of the All Truck Drivers Foundation and the National Truck Drivers Foundation to discuss “challenges” facing the industry. This followed a series of blockades during the festive season.
He said that the dispute between truck drivers and their employers was not a departmental issue. It was a collective bargaining matter that should be negotiated and resolved at the relevant collective bargaining council.
