2011-02-16 Beeld reports that this massive load of spilled milk-powder was dumped on the R59 highway at the offramp Sasolburg/Vanderbijlpark by trucks full of black strikers. Breyten police are investigating charges of intimidation and assault ...lodged by three truck-drivers who were forced off ...the roads. Trucks in Johannesburg, the East-Rand, Vaal Triangle, Machadodorp were torched. In Johannesburg 3,500 of the striking truckers marched with knobkieries and vuvuzelas after torching a truck on Main Reef Road near Cleveland, forcing the driver to flee for his life. A trucker with a load of scrap metal rolled his truck when he was attacked by four black men outside Sasolburg on the R82. He was injured and taken to hospital. The owner of the milk-powder load, MK-Logistics, said the driver of the truck ran away after it was 'probably forced off the road'.http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Stakers-slaan-2-tot-in-hospitaal-20110216
