Siboniso Duma, the KwaZulu-Natal Transport MEC, is set to meet with the leaders of the All Truck Drivers Forum and Allied South Africa (ATDF-SA), whose members are on strike today.
The ATDF-SA, which represents truck drivers, has long expressed concerns about the hiring of foreign nationals in the freight and logistics industries.
They are also concerned about some employers who do not follow the minimum wage policy.
