Durban - National bus operator SA Roadlink had its licence to operate in KwaZulu-Natal withdrawn on Wednesday, the province's transport MEC said.
MEC Bheki Cele announced in Durban that from midnight on Friday December 19, no SA Roadlink bus would be allowed to operate within the province.
He said the permit to operate had been withdrawn, pending the outcome of an investigation into Tuesday morning's crash between an SA Roadlink bus and two other vehicles that claimed the lives of 11 people.
"We withdraw all concurrencies granted to SA Roadlink to operate in this province pending finalisation of investigation."
SA Roadlink has a history of accidents in the province and several of its buses have been declared unroadworthy by provincial authorities in the past two years.
