MORE DRIVERS EMPLOYED

THE latest Quarterly Employment Statistics from Stats SA revealed that one of the few industries to have an increase in employment was the transport sector. This is a positive statistic to see since there was an 86

000 decrease in overall employment statistics in non-agricultural sectors in the second quarter.

The chief executive of Masterdrive, Eugene Herbert, says while these statistics are encouraging, it also places extra pressure on the industry. “During the second quarter, the transport industry again faced massive pressure as South Africa battled the third wave.” | IOL Motoring
