Pretoria News reports that with Pretoria commuters having been left stranded without public transport for about a week, the capital’s mayor-elect Solly Msimanga on Wednesday went to the Tshwane Bus Depot to address employees and workers’ unions.
But he couldn’t gain access as management at the Tshwane Bus Services (TBS) and the private bus company A Re Yeng Bus Service were reluctant to hold talks with him. A Re Yeng is in a service agreement with the city. Msimanga decried the plight of commuters and innocent employees, saying there was no need for ordinary citizens to bear the brunt of poor management at the bus company. City spokesman Blessing Manale said the TBS management was at logger-heads with the two unions concerned. He indicated that a court interdict had been obtained, which should result in all workers reporting for duty on Thursday.
