which compels Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga, Eastern Cape Transport MEC Xolile Nqatha and the police to develop a comprehensive plan to"provide for the safety and security of long-distance bus drivers and passengers".

The incidents include the stoning of buses, prevention of bus drivers from loading and off-loading passengers, intimidation of drivers and passengers, buses being shot at, and a passenger struck by a bullet.
Smith added perhaps his earlier directive to develop a revised comprehensive plan had not been properly understood.The date from which and the frequency with which the measures will be implemented.
