The nationwide strike affecting the South African bus industry is continuing, with many services still not operating.

MyCiTi service in Cape Town and the Gautrain buses remain suspended until further notice. The nationwide strike is still ongoing and, as such, buses are not operating.

With the strike entering its third week, there was still no firm indication as to when bus services would resume, said Spokesperson for the Department of Transport, Ishmael Mnisi, reports Fin24.

The City of Cape Town issued a statement reading: “After nearly two weeks of strike action it is still uncertain when the deadlocked wage negotiations will be resolved.

“The lock-out instituted by the Vehicle Operating Companies operating the MyCiTi service remains in place until further notice. Regretfully, this means that there will be no MyCiTi trunk or feeder services available for as long as the strike and lock-out continue.”

MyCiTi has requested travellers to make alternative travelling arrangements for the time being, and in particular for the start of Wednesday (May 2).
