On normal days Nkosi who left his workplace in Mbombela on Sunday evening would reach Johannesburg on Monday after spending the night at a truck stop station in Middelburg.
“This has already affected our schedule for the week. We don’t know when we will be free to proceed to deliver that side,” he added.
