GNT pension protest enters second week
Polokwane Observer
|October 23, 2025
A protest by disgruntled former and current employees of Great North Transport (GNT) over unpaid pension fund claims entered its second week on Tuesday, with demonstrators continuing to sleep outside the Premier's Office in the city.
The protesters, some of whom claim to have worked at the state-owned bus company for nearly 30 years, are demanding the payment of over R300m in unpaid pension and provident fund contributions. According to them, contributions were deducted from their salaries but never paid into their pension schemes. They allege misappropriation by both the GNT management and union representatives.
More than 800 former workers are reportedly still waiting for their payouts, some for over a decade.
