Truck drivers to embark on a national shutdown

All Truck Drivers Forum and Allied South Africa secretary-general Gugu Sokhela joins us via video link to unpack the planned strike on Monday, November 11.
Key grievances include the employment of foreign national truck drivers in the freight and logistic industry and alleged non-compliance with the minimum wage policy by some employers.

If thus the case ban South African goods from crossing boarders its a win win situation but we know who loses.

Fight bafowethu ilwani the government will not fight for you,you are on your own

[@zusibone]

I support South Africans. There is oversupply of truck drivers, why companies hire outside except the fact that they want cheap labour

[@Ibby.M.I.786]

Nice! Our Railways can get a revive and the railway towns will have some life brought back to them if they stay away for long enough

[@mtha4996]

Lovely. Road accident rate will be down 50%

[@MrEvansjethro]

You're so dumb. Trucks cause less accidents than your regular vehicles. Women cause more accidents instead. get your facts correct before exposing your idiocy. Moreover, cost of living will be affected during their protest.

[@makgaboepitanus6969]

​@@MrEvansjethro.. ja but it's because motorists avoid trucks at all cost - otherwise trucks are a bs ...

[@Mafia1984Ayirwanda-ge4ty]

[@JohnbullMalaka]

Should be like that in other countries let not south African not enter in other nations as long as they stop others

[@moeketsisamson9804]

It's not about foreign truck drivers entering south Africa,it's about those driving within our country without proper documentations
