SA Roadlink history

2 Jan 2009

SA Roadlink bus driver is arrested for drunk driving in Worcester, whilst driving a bus with 72 passengers to Johannesburg. His blood alcohol level allegedly exceeded the legal limit by nearly ten times.

14 Dec 2009

In a freak accident, Pietermaritzburg business manager Brian Govender, 39, is killed on the N3 near Midmar Dam when he is hit on the head by a flap of the bus's luggage compartment. The SA Roadlink bus was parked on the side of the freeway after it stalled. Thereafter Govender and other passengers started to offload luggage from the luggage compartment. Whilst Govender was bending down to pick up a bag a passing truck hit the flap of the luggage compartment which hit Govender on the head, killing him instantly (of head trauma).

A 45-year-old SA Roadlink Pietermaritzburg branch supervisor was meant to bank R18,000 for the company; but on the way made a pit-stop at the Golden Horse Casino, where he lost R18,755. His next step was to concoct a story, telling the police he had been robbed. Police became suspicious when closed circuit television footage didn't show the robbery occuring, and they later discovered he'd made a visit to the casino. He was released on bail from the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court, and is due in court again on the 7th July.

However, on 19th Dec 2008 SA Roadlink obtained a temporary court order preventing Cele from suspending their operating licence. Then on the 23rd December 2008, SA Roadlink received a fax from Cele's lawyers, stating his intention to withdraw the case with full costs.

Some 75 people are injured (14 seriously and the SA Roadlink bus driver is critically injured) when a fully loaded double-decker SA Roadlink bus collided with a private bus (signed Ebhodwe Transport) at Lions River on the N3 national road in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands. Paramedics used the jaws of life to rescue the trapped SA Roadlink bus driver. The driver was taken to St Anne's Hospital in Pietermaritzburg. After hitting the private bus, it in turn hit into another car and a bakkie.

12 Jul 2008

In the wake of the accidents SA Roadlink have been involved in, they released "Six key safety standards:

1. All coaches are checked for roadworthiness before each trip. To facilitate this, SA Roadlink has a team of in-house fleet managers to carry out roadworthiness checks. Most coach companies currently only check their coaches every 20000 km’s.

2. Each coach driver’s time at the wheel is limited to 48 hours per week, with mandatory 12 hour rest periods between drives.

3. All drivers undergo mandatory checks before employment with SA Roadlink and further tests every three months.

4. Tests are carried out for eyesight, illegal drug and alcohol use, and other ailments that might impair a driver in any way. All drivers will also be provided with medical aid, another industry first.

5. All drivers are to pass through the leading advanced coach driver academy – Gerotek.

6. Each coach undergoes mandatory brake testing before each trip. SA Roadlink has purchased a state-of-the-art brake testing machine from Germany. This machine is stationed at SA Roadlink’s Centurion depot.

“We realise that our reputation for safety and service excellence can be destroyed in an instant. Therefore, every employee is personally responsible on every level to be the best SA Roadlink ambassador that they can be."

Ndumiso Maphumulo

SA Roadlink is run by Capitalists who put profits before people. On two occasions, in as many weeks, I boarded an SA Roadlink bus from Durban to Pretoria. In the first instance the bus was releasing very hot air inside, the driver said the airconditioning system was faulty. On the second occasion, the bus, after travelling less then 5 kilometres broke down, we were told it was overheating. And the management of the company says they check their buses often? The audacity and nerve of these cowards. I am fully behind the KZN Mec for attempting to shut them down, they are a menace to our roads!!

Basil

Frankly ! despite ALL Roadlink's protestations and media advertising , professing to be :- 1. compliant as per requisite industry standards 2. unsurpassed service delivery standards 3. "value-for money" transportation etc. etc. etc.........et'al...ad-infinitum..... The Company(exececutives) & its employees NEED to take a SERIOUS look at its operations,from operational to the top. ROADLINK - by all means has developed into a money making machine... PERIOD! .... No different from the then and current ruling political party ! How your entity was ever granted a licence to operate as a transporter is highly questionable ! Get your act together and bloody well DELIVER the QUALITY SERVICE that the man in the street deserves... Screw your "super-profits" and get rich quick scam and ideology. Perhaps - contract to Spoornet and transport goods between stations then you would have NO issue w.r.t. human dignity and adequate service delivery ! YOU FREAKING BUNCH OF DURBAN SHARKS !

my boyfriend bought me a ticket on the 24 ticket ref no was 1872503 in Joburg Park station.and never used that ticket because i didn't have it with me and was required to rebook the ticket of which i paid for two tickets, i was disappointed with your service. Rozanne one of your hostes was the only one understanding my position, the manager was worse and they told me straight the ticket is no longer valid and will be unable to use in future.I paid R500 for a single seat calculating the other ticket that was fortfied

lAngry

Why was i refused to board the bus from CPT with frozen snoek. They gave me an option to either leave the parcel or dont board the bus. Both options was impossible because in the first place i payed for my ticket and i bought the fish.At the end i had to give it away to a stranger and board the bus to JHB.That parcel cost me money. I had never expierance this problem before' I usualy travel like that.Please explain.

Booking incl.fares the for 2 to butterworth for Thursday,to return on the 15th June 2008

Frustrated

A reservation was made for me from Cape town to travel from JHB to Capetown. I was issued with a reference number. Upon arrival at your JHB checkin point i was told that the person that made the reservation needs to fax the copy of the ticket so that i could be able to board. This is such an inconvenience considering the fact that we are technically advanced and surely SA ROAD LINK should have more convenient efficient means of conducting business. Is this the standard procedure that I as a client should deal with? This is not acceptable and frustrating. Please advise urgently.Please give us the convenience and service we deserve!!!!!!
