The Portfolio Committee on Community Safety and Transport Management chaired by Hon. Freddy Sonakile welcomes the resumption of commuter transport services in Ngaka Modiri Molema District and applauds the Department of Transport for this decisive action. After 8 months of no commuter bus services in Ngaka and years of unreliable service that left residents stranded and exposed to unsafe conditions, there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel.
“We particularly commend MEC W.M. Morweng for implementing the Committee’s advice on the absorption of former Atamelang employees into the new service. This demonstrates a commitment to justice and the protection of workers’ livelihoods. We urge all affected employees to cooperate fully with the transition process, which will be carried out in three phases to ensure smooth and orderly service restoration.
“We also note the appointment of the new service provider, Ikhwezi Tasmica Joint Venture, which takes over the service and has cooperated with the department thus far. Cooperation between bus and taxi operators will remain critical in ensuring uninterrupted service to commuters,” said Hon. Sonakile.
The Committee affirms its commitment to ongoing oversight, monitoring the Department and the new operator to ensure that service delivery, commuter safety, and employee welfare are fully restored and maintained.
