On Sunday, traffic on the N3 highway between Pietermaritzburg and Durban came to a standstill following a blockade by aggrieved truckers.
It is understood that the blockade, which affected traffic in the Cliffdale area, was related to poor working conditions and the employment of foreigners by local trucking companies. Transport minister Blade Nzimande called for the arrest of protesting truckers and the impounding of their vehicles. He said it was"disingenuous" of truck drivers to stage a blockade when the department had engaged with the All Truck Drivers Foundation and the National Truck Drivers Foundation about challenges facing SA truck drivers.
"The department of labour was tasked to conduct unannounced inspections to unscrupulous employers disregarding employment laws and the law-enforcement officers were tasked to identify routes with high volumes, particularly routes used by cross-border trucks, so that they can conduct multi-disciplinary roadblock operations," said Nzimande.
Ooh yeah... i just remembered that under the ANC government, you will have to be very unfortunate to go to jail. Normally, criminals do as they wish... their number is too high the ANC can't risk losing their votes.
