Bheki Cele's warning falls on deaf ears as another truck goes up in flames.

Cele - together with Mbalula, labour minister Thulas Nxesi, home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi, KZN premier Sihle Zikalala and KZN ecnomic development MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube - met with representatives of truck drivers, both employed and unemployed, as well as truck owners.

Cele said the loss of lives and destruction of property had to come to an end with immediate effect. He reiterated that the police would not stand for deeds of “economic sabotage". Cele recognised that the issue of South African truck drivers was a long-standing concern, one which has resulted in 91 arrests.
