GEORGE NEWS - Western Cape Minister of Mobility Ricardo Mackenzie visited George earlier today following the petrol-bombing of a Go George.
The bus was petrol-bombed last Wednesday, 1 March, two days after the municipality announced that the roll-out of the bus service to Thembalethu was imminent.
Altogether 11 people were taken to hospital and the bus was badly damaged.
Mackenzie met with various role players, including George Mayor Leon van Wyk and members of the mayoral committee. He also met with representatives of the taxi industry.
After the meeting Mackenzie spoke to George Herald. His message was clear: the roll-out of the next phase of Go George in Thembalethu will go ahead.
