Bus attacks | EC Transport MEC calls for peace

MTHATHA - The Eastern Cape Transport Department says it is trying to get to the bottom of attacks on buses in the province.

Transport MEC Xolile Nqatha held a meeting with taxi association Santaco and members of the bus industry on Tuesday.

This after a Makhanda High Court ruling in June compelled the National Minister and Transport MEC to work with police to ensure a plan is in place for the safety and security of Intercape bus drivers and passengers.
