Police have apprehended All Truck Driver Forum leader for alleged violence on N3
Police in KwaZulu-Natal have arrested a national office bearer of the All Truck Driver Forum South Africa (ATDF-SA) for allegedly inciting violence along the N3 southbound near Bergville on Saturday morning.
According to police, officers conducting patrols on the N3 noticed traffic slowing before eventually coming to a standstill. An investigation at the scene revealed a group of about 10 people stopping trucks on the roadway.
The suspects allegedly fled into nearby bushes after noticing the police presence, abandoning a white Isuzu bakkie with its doors left open.
Preliminary investigations linked the vehicle to a prominent ATDF-SA office bearer. Police said they found an ATDF-SA banner and stones inside the bakkie.
