TMG Digital reports that two busses were set alight in the suburb of Morningside in Durban on Friday. It is suspected that the incident was linked to a Durban Transport Bus strike expected in the city later in the day.
Life Response emergency services said a bus exploded and fuel had leaked onto the road at the intersection of Ridge and Windmill roads. No injuries were initially reported. An alert about protest action circulating on social media on Thursday claimed drivers were demanding to be hired on a permanent basis by the municipality.
