The Road Freight Association has written to President Cyril Ramaphosa to ask him to to urgently intervene in an ongoing blockade of key cargo routes across the country. | iavanpijoos

The Road Freight Association wrote to President Cyril Ramaphosa to urgently intervene after key cargo routes were blocked across the country.

In an open letter, Road Freight Association CEO Gavin Kelly told Ramaphosa road freight companies were being targeted and that the entire supply chain was under attack. Kelly added that other vital routes from Mpumalanga, across the Northern Cape - the N17, N11, N2, R59, and R74 – have experienced similar events and delays.

Thania Dhoogra, operations manager at the N3 Toll Concession, said truck drivers also blocked the N3 Toll Route in a northbound direction in the vicinity of Tweedie in KwaZulu-Natal by midday. Nyathi said the problem would have never occurred if truck companies and owners had employed South Africans.

iavanpijoos Mbeki said that the African Renaissance is the way of the future and encouraged opening of borders so all Africans can move freely and enjoy the fruits of the New SA. Look what we have now. Another ANC uncontrollable stuff up costing Billions to a fragile economy.

iavanpijoos Azikhale!

iavanpijoos Why can’t companies refrain from doing things that is against their business prospering?

iavanpijoos De ja vu!

iavanpijoos We're is Mr fixit fokol MbalulaFikile

iavanpijoos President never said they should exploit workers because they have foreigners as back up when they fire south African drivers, even foreigners are victims of the same road freight

iavanpijoos Road freight Association must not involve the president in their dirty dealings, they love shortcuts they hired unqualified illegal foreigners because they are paying them small wages for long hours, they should just reverse that

iavanpijoos Ha ha ha CyrilRamaphosa won't do anything without instructions from his bosses. Mark my words. This man is not the president.

iavanpijoos I'm sure Ramaphosa is struggling to wrote 'what do you need me to do'?

iavanpijoos What gives anyone the right to block a national route ?

iavanpijoos The only intervention required is to restore a fully functional rail system.

iavanpijoos Time to declare all these routes (N1, N2, N3) national key points, warn those blocking them intentionally to disperse and failing them moving out, call in the army. This is just insurrection.

iavanpijoos It seems like the hiring of cheap foreigners is actually turning out to be very costly in the long run, maybe they should rethink their business strategy.

iavanpijoos Yes Wait... Don't we have police?

iavanpijoos Hmm After his Youth day talk he is on his way to Bantry Bay to check those mattresses Will only be checking his mail on Monday

iavanpijoos So The RFA want to see him killing the Drivers

iavanpijoos Ramaphosa's only interventions should be to remove Freight from Road and take it to rail .Too many accidents and too much chaos with trucks
