Tshwane bus services grind to a halt amid strike action
All Tshwane Rapid Transit (TRT) services, known as the Areyeng bus services, have been suspended.

On Monday, the City of Tshwane said that only the Mamelodi bus service would be affected by the strike.
However, on Tuesday morning, they confirmed on Twitter that all their services have been suspended.
