Trucks carrying coal and chrome are seen moving slowly at Bayhead in Durban as they are taking turns moving to the Port to make deliveries. Unions UNTU and SATAWU have rejected Transnet’s latest salary offer.
Transnet earlier advised clients that trucks should not be dispatched to the container terminal. These truck drivers say on a normal day they spend four to five hours at the staging area.
“The strike is disturbing us,I arrived here around 2:30 in the afternoon at the staging area there were a lot of trucks, there were delays, now it’s the following day around 10 in the morning,”
“We arrived yesterday at a staging area at six in the evening, I was supposed to leave at eleven in the evening, we are disturbed by this strike, I was supposed to go back to get another load.
“There is a little delay because of the people who are on strike who wants an increment, we are not used to these delays because we are carrying different products,”
