At the same time, the Tshwane Bus Service also remains suspended as workers affiliated with the South African Municipal Workers Union remain on strike.


Tshwane spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the vandalism of A Re Yeng bus led to the immediate suspension of services.


"The bus was pelted with stones along Lavender Road on its way to Wonderboom. The perpetrators smashed the windscreen on the driver's side. Luckily, the driver did not sustain any injuries, and there were no passengers on board.


“Consequently, the bus operations have been suspended with immediate effect in the interest of the safety of commuters, as well as the drivers," said Mashigo.
