31 October 2024- North West MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng met with the department key stakeholders, SANSBOC and SANTACO to address issues that will harmonize the working relationship with the bodies.
The first meeting was with SANSBOC to deal with scholar Transport claims and late payments which has been a thorn that also worried Morweng as the matter can affect learners who rely on the service.
He further resolved that outstanding payments to scholar transport operators should be given priority and those that are claimed are outstanding be brought forward and be dealt with. Morweng added that the second meeting was with SANTACO, which was on commuter transport and the role SANTACO should play in the industry, as well as what is due to them as per agreement.
“We resolved that a meeting that is expected to take place next week on Monday between SANTACO and Commuter Bus companies, the Head of Department (HOD), and other relevant parties, must come up with a workable solution.
“All participants of the two meetings appreciated how we handled their matters and they were grateful about the outcome of the meetings,” he said.
