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.
