SAMWU2.png SAMWU saddened by the shooting of a Metrobus Driver The South African Municipal Workers' Union (SAMWU) has learnt with shock and sadness the shooting of a Metrobus driver in the early hours of this morning. The bus driver, Mr Selelo Marwala was shot at by criminals, who pretended to be passengers on Ontdekkers road around 5.30am. Mr Marwala was shot for being courageous and defending his passengers who were being robbed of their valuables by these criminals. We have learnt that the Mr Marwala was taken to hospital and is currently undergoing surgery as a result of the shooting. We wish the Mr Marwala a speedy recovery along with a passenger who was also shot at. This incident is an indication of the high levels of crime in the country and the extent to which criminals would go to, having no respect to human live. This further shows that the working class is exposed to criminals. Our people wake up very early in the morning to ensure that they are at work on time at the risk of criminals taking advantage of them. Metrobus drivers are subjected to long working hours with unsafe working conditions. It is saddening that in the midst of such working conditions, the employers do not see a need to properly remunerate workers. Workers are victimised by Metrobus management while the employer continually refuses to recognise duly elected Shopstewards. We urge Metrobus management to ensure the safety of their employees, more especially those who perform their duties in the wee hours of the morning. We further encourage anyone who has information to approach their nearest police station so that these animals face the full might of the law.
