The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport and bus company SA Roadlink will hold a press conference on Monday to clarify the way forward in their legal battle.
The company won a high court application to overturn a ban by KwaZulu-Natal transport MEC Bheki Cele on its buses operating in the province.
Two weeks ago, a Roadlink coach crashed on the southbound N2 near Hibberdene and rolled down an embankment. Eleven people died and two were admitted to hospital, including a 2-year-old child.
Meanwhile, investigations by the Department of Transport have revealed that the bus which was involved in the crash had no permit to operate in the province.
Department of Transport spokesperson Nonkululeko Mbatha said all the buses operating in the province were given individual permits. This bus did not have one
"Our investigations have shown that the bus that was involved in an accident did not have a permit," she said.
An SA Roadlink spokesperson said he could not comment on the matter because everything would be discussed at the press conference on Monday.
