The forum has again called on the government to ban foreign truck drivers from operating in South Africa.

It insists that truck driving is not a rare skill that justifies employing drivers from neighboring countries.

About 700 workers in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng are expected to see their wages reduced.
