Violent attacks and intimidation have increased in the truck drivers’ strike.

Cape Town police are urging motorists to avoid travelling through Nyanga.

Two trucks have been set alight in the area.

In Gauteng, working truck drivers, have been dragged from their vehicles and attacked, especially on the East Rand and in the Johannesburg CBD.

Several trucks were also set alight or stoned. There was a stand-off between police and strikers at Johannesburg’s Park Station after workers left Beyers Naudé Square this morning.
