The National Department of Transport has now asked the Road Traffic Management Corporation to investigate SA Roadlink.
23 people have died in accidents involving Roadlink vehicles over the past two years.
The department says it’s very concerned about this situation hence the investigation into this matter.
The KZN Transport MEC Bheki Cele announced yesterday that Roadlink will not be able to operate in KZN from Saturday until an investigation into Tuesday’s South Coast accident has wrapped up.
Eleven people died near Hibberdene when the bus slammed into a car. Despite the investigations, SA Roadlink says as of this morning it still has not been informed of Cele’s decision.
The company’s Herman Steyn says they are hoping to get clarity by the end of today. For now though he says it is business as usual.
“We are in possession of a valid road transport permit which has been obtained through the normal legal process, and we are of the opinion that we will continue using it in future during the peak period. We want to assure the public it’s business as usual.”
