BERGVILLE - KwaZulu-Natal police have arrested a national office bearer of the All Truck Driver Forum.
He's accused of inciting violence along the N3 in the Bergville area.
Officers on patrol came across a group of ten people stopping trucks on the southbound carriageway.
The suspects fled when police arrived, abandoning a vehicle linked to one of the organisation's officials.
A further investigation led police to a second vehicle and the arrest of three more people.
Police said further charges could be added as investigations continue.
KZN transport spokesperson Ndabezinhle Sibiya said provincial leaders continue to push for dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution.
"There was an arrest this morning and we are leaving it up to the SAPS to manage that process."
