The recent incident was the attack on two AB350 buses, which were burnt at Cacadu. This meeting comes after a court order from the High Court in Makhanda, compelling the Transport Ministry to work with SAPS to develop a safety and security plan to protect drivers and passengers.
“To the security of all company including bus, the government is committed to provide safety and security for industries including citizens. What we are unable to do is what Intercape is looking for to demand that SAPS must provide a dedicated escort that is impractical, that is why we are approaching court to appeal,” says Xolile Nqatha, MEC for Transport in Eastern Cape.
