Rea Vaya inspection
Meanwhile, Mbalula visited Rea Vaya buses on Thursday and said he was not happy with the lack of implementation of COVID-19 restrictions.
βI am not happy with the execution. After this meeting, we will meet with people who are running these buses so that we ensure that there are marshals in these buses and at the stations so that people are able to keep social distance. But overall, inside the bus, people are sitting too close to each other.β
