Putco to suspend operations on Monday
Bus service Putco says its vehicles will not be on the roads on Monday due to the national shutdown called by the EFF.
The party is set to hold a mass protest nationwide calling for the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa and an end to load shedding.
Putco spokesperson Lindokuhle Xulu says the decision was made following a safety and risk assessment done by the company
"The in-depth analysis uncovered threats of intimidation and a planned interruption of economic activities by disrupting road networks to prevent trucks and buses from operating.
"As a precautionary measure and due to safety concerns for passengers and staff, Putco will not operate on 20 March. We urge all passengers and staff to remain vigilant."
Xulu says there will be reduced services on Human Rights Day and full service is expected to resume on Wednesday.
