Third Roadlink bus impounded in less than a week

A third Roadlink bus has been impounded in less than a week after being found with defective brakes in George in the Southern Cape.

A third Roadlink bus has been impounded in less than a week after being found with defective brakes in George in the Southern Cape on Sunday, the South African Broadcasting Corporation reported.

This comes after two buses were taken off the road in George and Knysna on New Year’s Day after a number of defects were found.

The ongoing impounding of Roadlink buses comes after about eight people were killed near Beaufort West in July last year in an accident involving one of the company’s buses.

Roadlink also came under the spotlight in 2006 following the death of 12 people after one of its buses crashed into a pillar of a bridge in KwaZulu-Natal on Christmas eve. - Sapa
