Pretoria News reports that commuters from Mamelodi will bear the brunt of last week's political violence that resulted in 19 Autopax buses being torched in the township. They will have to make alternative transport plans as Autopax, which runs City to City buses in the area, has suspended services.
It is unclear when the bus company will resume operations. Autopax’s Nozipho Jafta said: “What is paramount to Autopax is the safety of our passengers and drivers. “We will only resume operations once we are certain it is safe to do so.” Autopax was not the only bus company affected by the riots. Putco also confirmed that three of its buses were set alight last week. Putco resumed operations last Tuesday on some of the routes. The City of Tshwane also decided to halt all operations during last week’s turmoil and only resumed services on Friday. None of the city’s buses was torched.
