Three of the four striking freight unions have accepted the latest wage offer of 9%.

Thousands of truck drivers were striking this week, demanding a 10% wage increase this year and in 2012.

General secretary of the Professional Transport Workers Union Reckson Baloyi, says the three unions have signed an agreement and their members will be back at work on Monday.

The SA Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu) has rejected the offer of a nine percent increase and their members will continue with the strike.
