About 20 Metrobus drivers protested at the company's head office in Johannesburg on Monday afternoon, an official said.

“We received a notice from the SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) about a protest which was supposed to start on Monday at 8am till 5pm and continue every day up until July 13,” Metrobus spokeswoman Esther Dreyer said.

The protest lasted for about two hours and there were no reports of interrupted service delivery, she said.

“Protesters were singing and dancing, we still don't know what the reasons for the protest are.”

She said some of the posters displayed indicated the protesters might have issues with Metrobus management.

Samwu was not immediately available for comment. - Sapa
