The Makhanda High Court on Wednesday issued an order compelling the Minister of Transport and the MEC for Transport in the Eastern Cape to work with the South African Police Service (SAPS) to develop a plan to provide for the safety and security of Intercape’s drivers and passengers in the Eastern Cape. In handing down the order, Judge John Smith said there was a duty on the State to act so that the “lives of [Intercape] drivers and passengers were not left in the balance”.
