The operation, which the KwaZulu-Natal government said would be the first of many, was scheduled to be held at three sites around the city, including Maydon Wharf, which is used daily by trucks to access the port.
The operation, which included the police, defence force, traffic authorities and the departments of home affairs and labour, focused on:inspecting documents of foreign truck drivers;The operation comes in the wake of recent violent truck protests in KZN and complaints by local truckers about foreigners being employed by SA logistics companies in preference to them.
Premier Sihle Zikalala said five drivers had been arrested for not being in possession of proper documentation and he expected the number to increase. “We are doing this because there have been complaints about the domination of foreign nationals in the freight and logistics industry. “These foreign nationals are supposed to be driving with permits and all required documents. In most cases you find that most of them are driving without these documents,” he said.
Companies must be Fined...
Steep fine or impounding of truck must be done to teach these Truck owners to comply. Its their duty to make sure they employ people with skill, proper valid documents. Its a must that they must PRIORITIZE South Africans.
Keep up the good work guys....
Maybe it’s a start to something bigger. These truck driver are absolutely lawless on long hall trips
They must arrest them all, and make sure they don't come back again
fine the company also
