TimesLIVE reports that Areyeng bus operations have been suspended indefinitely after its buses were pelted with stones in the Pretoria CBD on Tuesday.

Sam Matabane, spokesperson for the bus operator TRT, said the first incident happened at about 2.20pm at Church Square. “The bus had passengers but there were no injuries [to passengers] or to the driver. The second one was at 3.35pm, in the city centre between Bosman and Boom streets. The bus had no passengers and the driver was not injured,” he said. Both incidents were reported to the Pretoria Central police station. Matabane said their operations in Mamelodi were not affected. He pointed out that TRT was an independent company “and we are getting caught between the challenges of the city and its employees.” An ongoing illegal strike by City of Tshwane employees over salary increases has left the metro in disarray.
