Intercape bus driver killed as violent attacks on the company escalate | News24

The attacks on long-distance bus operators started on Thursday and Friday in Gauteng and have left another two people injured.

The bus company said in the past 13 months, there have been more than 150 recorded violent incidents, a number of which have led to serious injuries to employees and passengers of the bus operators in the long-distance coach industry.In one incident, the company added one of its buses was travelling from Pretoria to Mthatha and was shot at from an unknown sedan on the M2 highway in Johannesburg.

Also on Friday at 19:45, around 7km before Johannesburg Station on the M2, the occupants of an unidentified car driving in the fast lane opened fire on an Intercape coach travelling from Durban to Pretoria. Ferreira said despite there being more than 150 reported incidents in the last year and more than 60 cases opened with various police stations, the majority in the Eastern Cape, there had not been a single arrest to date.

"Who in their right mind will ever want to invest time and money in an economy which is held hostage by criminal enterprises which operate as a law unto themselves and with complete impunity."The company said it had personally written to Ramaphosa and the government pleading for intervention to stop the campaign which it added was aimed at forcing it and other long-distance coach companies out of operating in certain regions and routes.
