SA Roadlink has filed an application for an urgent interdict in the Pietermaritzburg High Court to try and stop a ban imposed on it from operating in the province.
Earlier this week, Transport MEC Bheki Cele announced that the busses would not be allowed onto KZN roads as from midnight.
The unprecedented step was taken in the wake of Tuesday’s horror bus accident near Hibberdene, which left 11 people dead.
He said the ban would be in place until an investigation into the latest crash had been finalised.
SA Roadlink claimed it hadn’t been officially informed of the ban and requested a meeting with MEC which was supposed to take place today.
However, Cele says the meeting did not occur because when he arrived, he was given the court papers.
“We are waiting anxiously. If the court decides we can continue, we will definitely continue. If the court doesn’t pronounce, our decision stands and we will continue to close them down.”
