Makgoga said, “We will get to the bottom of this and try to fix it as soon as possible by meeting with the two independent companies.”

One of ReaVaya’s loyal commuters Thobile Mazibuko arrived late at work on November 1 because the bus system she usually relies on to get to work was not operating.

Mazibuko said, “No communication was conveyed, we just found out this morning and had to make alternative plans, and we do not know for how long.”

Makgoga said, “We announced and communicated as early as 5am that the buses were going to be disrupted today, we apologize for the inconvenience.”
