Johannesburg Metrobus drivers have vowed to intensify their unprotected strike if the decision to outsource bus inspectors in not reversed. This is according to a bus driver who has been working for the bus service for over ten years."The biggest problem here is that the Managing [Director Mavela Dlamini] wants to outsource the work for ticket examination from passengers.
