The drivers alleged that foreigners, particularly Zimbabweans were taking away their jobs, and were the main cause for low salaries they are receiving. They were demanding that all foreign drivers dump their trucks at the pass and leave their country with immediate effect. Armed police teams were engaged to disperse the protesters and some arrests were made. South African haulage trucks drivers blocked the road from both directions and traffic only started clearing after 9PM when police intervened. ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Said Mukonoweshuro: > I can confirm there was a massive protest yesterday (Wednesday), by haulage truck drivers as South Africans claimed that foreign drivers were taking away their jobs. The protest was also done for a number of other reasons which include little salaries, hard working conditions for them, with foreign drivers being pointed as the sole problem causers. About 63 people were arrested and will appear in court. The protestors took advantage and decided to make their statement in a mountainous area — Van Reneen Pass in Harrismith between Johannesburg and Durban.
