“I have been assured by the security cluster that it is ready to deal decisively with any such possible disruptions,” Nzimande said in a statement.
The transport ministry said in a statement that Nzimande had presented a consolidated report of the inter-departmental task team, which truck drivers' associations were part of, established to deal with grievances lodged by South African truck drivers about the employment of foreign truck drivers.
The report was handed to labour minister Mildred Oliphant, as it involved a labour dispute between employers and workers on the issue of employment of foreigners in the trucking industry.
