Truck strike action continued in the Eastern Cape as trucks were still gathered on the N9 in Middleburg blocking the roads for fellow truck drivers.

According to Unathi Binqose, spokesperson for Eastern Cape Transport, many trucks are being blocked against their will. He suggests that trucks that are not part of the strike find alternate routes.
Binqose says, “There is still high visibility of trucks on the N9 in Middleburg. What is clear is that not all of them are there by choice, some find themselves being trapped there and seemingly no trucks are being allowed to pass the N9 in Middleburg.”
“So if you are a truck driver and you are listening to this, and you are not part of the strike action rather avoid that town completely. Another concerning factor is that some are refrigerated, meaning they are carrying perishable goods destined for markets. Sooner or later, you the consumer will feel the pinch of that, especially in the areas of Gqeberha.”
