Mbombela - Mpumalanga scholar transport operators are threatening to strike if the government does not pay them the R400m they say they it owes them.
According to the City Press the operators claim that the provincial department of public works, roads and transport and Habana Trading – a company that was awarded a R500m tender to manage scholar transport in Gert Sibande region around Ermelo – have not been paying them.
Habana was hired in 2011 to buy its own buses, which would be handed over to school governing bodies at the end of their contract, but has kept on using individual operators because it did not have enough buses to carry on with the job.
