MEC MORWENG MEETING WITH SANSBOC AND SANTACO TO DEAL ON MATTERS THAT WILL HAMONISE THE STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIP

MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng, and Head of Department, Dr Hans Kekana and CFO Kutlwano Phathudi, met with the Department key stakeholders SANSBOC and SANTCO to address issues that will harmonize the working relationship with the bodies today.

The first meeting was with SANSBOC to deal with scholar Transport claims and late payments which has been a thorn that also worried the MEC as the matter can affect learners who rely on the service.

The MEC resolved that outstanding payments to scholar transport operators should be given priority and those that is claimed are outstanding be brought forward and be dealt with.

The second meeting was with SANTACO which was on commuter transport and the role SANTACO should play in the industy as well as what is due to them as per agreement.

Known for his appetite to resolve issues as quick as possible, MEC Morweng resolved that meeting that is expected to take place next week on Monday between SANTACO and Commuter Bus companies, the HOD and other relevant parties must come up with workable solution.

All the participants of the two meetings appreciated on how the MEC handled their matters and they were grateful about the outcome of the meetings
