News update: Police Minister Bheki Cele says the police are close to finding the suspects who torched six trucks in KZN over the weekend.
Six trucks were torched in Van Reenen's Pass along the strategic N3 route at the weekend, with another two trucks set alight on the N2 in Empangeni on Monday.
There is speculation that the latest bout of torching of trucks is a deliberate effort to coincide with the annual Southern African Transport Conference.
The eight trucks were set alight in two separate attacks on the N3 toll route in Van Reenen’s Pass and on the N2 in Empangeni.
The association has called for action to be taken against those responsible for the attacks on truck drivers in the country, saying long-term effects are destructive to the country's economy.
