Cross-border bus, truck operators to confront govt on twin agencies

Mukhwathi said, as operators, they were confused by government having two authorities to police their vehicle permits.In addition to the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency run by the national department of transport, the home affairs department has introduced its own border management authority to duplicate the job.Operators claim this is not only confusing but that they have to pay heavy permit fines.

“We are calling government stakeholders to fix rail first and buy enough/more rail goods because a failure will increase the violence we are facing right now – burning trucks hiring of foreign trucks drivers,” said Mukhwathi.“The government must tell us what criteria they are using to cut road freight trucks by 20%.

He said government should give truck owners enough time to object and provide inputs on how the problem of road damage should be solved. He suggested a period of at least 90 days to avoid any violence that might erupt.
