The Congress of South African Trade Unions is warning of a crisis in KwaZulu-Natal, as commuter bus companies threaten to halt operations over unpaid government subsidies. Several major operators say they have not received payments from the provincial Department of Transport since April, despite contractual obligations. With reserves now depleted and rising fuel costs adding pressure, services that thousands rely on daily to get to work, school and healthcare facilities could come to a standstill as early as next week. We spoke to COSATU spokesperson, Zanele Sabela.
