EWN reports that according to the City of Tshwane, its bus services will resume operation this week. The metro suspended both the Tshwane bus service and A Re Yeng operations after drivers affiliated with the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) embarked on a strike.
The industrial action, which was declared unlawful and illegal by the Labour Court, has been ongoing for almost two months. At the start of the strike, some buses were pelted with stones while drivers were attacked. The indefinite bus suspension has impacted hundreds of Tshwane residents who have been left stranded. Roads and transport MMC Katlego Mathebe said the buses would return to the roads on Tuesday. He added: "The illegal strike violence has left many of our commuters stranded and inconvenienced. It's for this reason suspension of bus services cannot go on for any longer.” Workers are demanding implementation of a 5.4% increase as agreed upon at the bargaining council, which the City of Tshwane has said it cannot afford.
