News24 reports that the City of Tshwane has urged residents to exercise patience as its A Re Yeng Bus Rapid Transport operations are set to be suspended ahead of a looming strike on Monday.
On Sunday, MMC for Roads and Transport, Sheila Senkubuge, said the city had issued an alert in respect of the possible suspension to bus services following a notice to strike issued to Tshwane Rapid Transport (TRT) by the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa). The strike notice specified a request by Mamelodi Bus Operations drivers for equal salaries between themselves and A Re Yeng bus drivers. The city indicated that A Re Yeng drivers had not indicated their intention to strike, but were under a directive from Numsa to participate in the strike action in solidarity. The anticipated strike was expected to affect operations from 04:00 on Monday. The City added that the suspension of operations would be a move to ensure the safety of commuters, and to safeguard the City’s assets.
