Fifty-two vehicles were impounded and 45 motorists prosecuted in Operation 'Nenzani La Ezweni'.
The KwaZulu-Natal Transport Department has arrested eight undocumented foreign truck drivers in Pietermaritzburg, as part of Operation 'Nenzani La Ezweni'. The female-led initiative, which is being conducted ahead of Women's Month, has resulted in the impounding of fifty-two vehicles and the prosecution of forty-five motorists. Ndabezinhle Sibiya, the department's spokesperson, stated that the hiring of undocumented foreign nationals in the freight sector has caused heightened tensions and disruptions along major routes, negatively impacting the economy.
Sibiya emphasized the department's commitment to collaborating with other government agencies, municipalities, and stakeholders to support truck drivers displaced by undocumented foreign drivers.
