Truck drivers across South Africa are expected to go on strike over the long weekend.
South African truck drivers plan to embark on a national shutdown on Sunday , which is expected to disrupt major transport routes – including the N3 between Johannesburg and Durban.
He added that members have been instructed to remain peaceful during the shutdown but noted that “anything can happen if police interfere with their demonstrations”. This strike comes as the ATDF has accused truck owners of overlooking local drivers and opting to employ foreign drivers, who offered cheap labour.
The Truckers Association of South Africa and the Road Freight Association warn that the strike would be a massive blow to the country’s already battered economy.
