Johannesburg - Gautrain bus services might be disrupted
in some parts of Gauteng on Monday afternoon because of an imminent strike by
drivers, said the Bombela Concession company.
"The drivers are demanding that MegaExpress bus company
provide them with transport service from their residences to the work place
every day," spokesperson Kelebogile Machaka said.
"The service is now running normally even though the
drivers reported for duty half an hour late this morning."
Machaka said the management of the bus operating company was negotiating with employee representatives to resolve the dispute.
She said there might be service disruptions from 18:00, when
the drivers were expected to embark on a strike.
Areas likely to be affected include the Johannesburg city
centre, Kempton Park, Fourways, Randburg, the Pretoria city centre and
Brooklyn.
Contingency plans are in place to minimise the effects of
the strike, Machaka said.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this industrial action might cause," she said.
