Truck drivers strike: R300 million in losses

South Africa

Johannesburg – The Consumer Goods Council says smaller towns off the N3 are the hardest hit by this week’s truck blockades.

Traffic on the N3 has started flowing again after days of blockades by truck drivers who disrupted traffic on the normally busy Van Reenen’s pass.

The truck freight industry says losses resulting from this latest bout of protests could be as much as R300 million.

The blockade shut down the critical supply chain route that connects KwaZulu-Natal to the interior of the country.
