Transnet worker shot en route to work in Gqeberha

A Transnet employee was shot and wounded on her way to work in New Brighton, Gqeberha, on Thursday morning.

The state-owned rail, port and pipeline company's workers have been on strike for a week. Transnet said the employee was provided with medical assistance and taken to the nearest hospital.

“Transnet discourages intimidation and violence towards employees not participating in the strike.”

Police are investigating a case of attempted murder and malicious damage to property.
