As negotiations continue between the industries bargaining council and the unions, ITT stays committed to doing its best to deliver. We are however encountering some serious challenges, and threats and intimidation are plentiful. The company had its first vehicle stoned yesterday (Wednesday the 16th- day 4 of the strike) in East London. A minor injury was reported from a stone which was hurled through the open passenger window. Various other couriers and transport companies have experienced the same.

Please expect delays in the following areas:

·         PORT ELIZABETH

o   Deal Party

o   Struandale

o   Markman Township

o   Uitenhage

·         EAST LONDON (probably the worst affected in our delivery region)

o   ELS Central

o   North End

o   Greenfields

o    All Townships

o   Wilsonia

o   Fort Jackson

o   King Williamstown

o   Butterworth / Umtata Route

o   Cofinvaba / Ncgobo Route

o   East Coast Resorts

o   Berlin

o   Bisho

·         CAPE TOWN

o   Airport Industria

o   Epping

o   Montigue Gardens

·         QUEENSTOWN

o   Barkly East / Maclear Route

o   Aliwal North Route

o   Town delays and fuel shortages

On a more positive note, areas like Grahamstown, George, Graaff Reinet and most outlying areas are not affected. There is however a delay in the overnight vehicles reaching these destinations.

Thank you for all your continued support and understanding.
