JOHANNESBURG – Transport Minister Blade Nzimande is to intervene in the ongoing national bus strike.

Nzimande is set to meet with stakeholders on Thursday in a bid to find a resolution to the crippling impasse.

On Wednesday, the strike continued after talks with Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant failed to break the deadlock between unions and employers.

Bus drivers across the country took their feet off the pedal last week, demanding better salaries.

The strike, now a week old, put severe pressure on taxi ranks, with long queues inconveniencing commuters.
