The transport business in SA is “a business that only brings tears and more tears”, says Road Freight Association CEO Gavin Kelly after riots in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal where trucks were again a favourite target for rioters.

It took 24 hours for authorities to clear the N3 highway near Mooi River in KwaZulu-Natal, where rioters protesting against Jacob Zuma’s incarceration, torched 23 trucks on Friday night.

“Why is trucking being targeted? Why should those who have nothing to do with either aggrieved party and who are just trying to ply their business , be subjected to such violence and common thuggery?” he asked. Kelly said the degradation of the transport industry and the loss of freight transit capacity in SA meant that the country has lost its “Gateway to Africa” status.

“Thank goodness we have not had any serious injuries or deaths to our employees this time round. But when will it stop?” said Kelly.
