If the attacks on the freight industry persist, it may be necessary to shut the industry down until they stop. | WitnessKZN

That’s the extreme measures that the National Bargaining Council for the Road Freight and Logistics Industry is threatening, while government resolves matters relating to ongoing truck shutdowns.

This comes after local truck drivers, led by the All Truck Drivers Forum and Allied South Africa , embarked on a march and shutdown last week. Members of the ATDFASA marched to the bargaining council offices last week in various provinces to demand that the industry does away with the employment of foreign nationals.Subscribe to News24 for just R75 per month to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

WitnessKZN Foreign workers get paid much less are easy to exploit so instead of laying proper salaries of around 12k these freight operators get away with 5-6k sometimes even less. I fully support the movement to hire local drivers only.

WitnessKZN Are all the drivers the owner's of the trucks that partake in these protests

WitnessKZN There is systematic destruction of many economic activity sectors, freight, transport construction etc. The gov promises to stop it but instead looks the other way . Why is it complicit?

WitnessKZN Use rail and get those disgusting trucks off the N3

WitnessKZN Imagine we had a working rail network, connecting our major cities and minor towns so that we didn't have to only rely on road transport... Imagine

WitnessKZN Rubbish. _T_A_S_A will NOT shutdown. We don’t report to you

WitnessKZN 100% agreeing with you

WitnessKZN These trucks bring in food and medicines, amongst others, so attacks on freight need to be considered as domestic terrorism, as they violate our quality of life as described in our constitution.
