SowetanLive reports that Rea Vaya buses operated as normal on Tuesday morning after the company sent messages via social media at around 6am indicating that they would be back on the road.
“Passengers are informed that buses are operating as normal today, August 5 2025, we apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience,” said Rea Vaya’s statement on social media platform X. This followed Monday’s disruption, when drivers blocked the exit at the Meadowlands depot using one of the buses and preventing others from leaving. According to the drivers, they have been forced to transport passengers in buses with expired licence discs, with some dating back as far as 2022, and that their repeated complaints have been ignored. “How are we supposed to work with buses that don’t have brakes or headlights? Yet somehow, they pass roadworthy tests in Lenasia,” said one driver
